Hot Damn
Well, I was told to wait until late tonight to announce, and this ought to qualify.
I found out a couple days ago that my poem "Crestone Conglomerate" has won the Laureate Prize from The National Poetry Review, meaning I get $300 plus publication in the Summer 2006 issue of TNPR. I can't tell you how excited I am about this--it's made my new year so far. TNPR is a great journal that I subscribe to and that I'd previously tried unsuccessfully to get my poetry into.

That's great news Steve - Congrats! May this be the first in a long line of good things for your work in 2006!
Congratulations, Steve!
This is fantastic news. Money, publication, recognition---where does it all end?
My one concern is this might set a dangerous precedent, poets getting paid for their work and all.

Congrats! This made my day!
P.S.--I think it's worth mentioning that my word-verification is wcsssz; doesn't this sound like Blogger is jealous and hissing at you? ; )

That is great news---I think National Poetry Review is right at the top of the print journals, too. Congrats!
Thank you everyone. I love this community.
My word verification is "xotvtuc," so if Blogger was hissing at me before, it's now either swearing or speaking in tongues.

Most Excellent - my vote is that you should treat yourself to a Nice bottle of wine and pour a glass for the muse. I'm dead serious about that.
Huge congrats, Steven...can't wait to read the poem. (Do we have to wait? Damn. I suppose we do) Well done.
