Hi Carrie,
From some quarters of the list, I'm afraid, you're more likely to hear the cheerless sound of derisive laughter, in this case directed at someone who has yet to publish a book of poems. An unpleasant world to be entering. Clare Harmon has written, among other things, a fine biography of R.L.Stevenson, so I don't think she needs to pay any attention.

Tim, the five finalist poems came from 225 poems submitted, and only a tiny, tiny percentage of those might be called avant garde or experimental or what you will. I would think this list would be glad to have seen Rankine and Riley on the best book prize shortlist.
