Reminding me that the whole poetry scene in the US is just too huge to
ever get a handle on; the only name I recognized in the list of
winners was Katia Kapovich...
Would I want to know their works? I really don't know, nor will I ever
have the time to find out; I have to trust those I know to tell me
about any poets I should maybe read....
