I've always planned on creating the Ahadada Silver Bidet award for superior
writing by ladies and trans. and the Golden Urinal award for the same thing
by gents. I think adding the word "International" to both will also help.

Subject: Poetry’s obsession with poetry prizes and awards
I’ve just been browsing Todd Swift’s blog and noticed that over the years
he’s made a great point of highlighting and promoting poets who’ve won
prestigious poetry prizes and awards. He does this to the point that it
becomes nauseating after a while. He’s even complied lists of who he thinks
are important US and British poets based only (so it seems) on such prizes
and awards. I don’t think he’s alone in this sort of enthusiasm for
awards. It seems pretty pervasive--at least in mainstream poetry circles.
Does anyone have any opinions on this either way?
