It’s Amy King in a landslide!
It’s the last day of National Poetry Month and the results are in.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the new Poet Laureate of the Blogosphere, Amy King!
I performed sort of like Dennis Kucinich. But that’s all right. The world needs its Don Quixotes and I’ve been known to vote for Dennis. I appreciate the attention, the nomination, and the votes. My traffic was astronomical last week — for me. I hope the other nominees had the same experience.
My thanks to Billy who is working his beard off to get us all some attention.
Here’s a list of the other losers, great blogging poets all. Give them a visit:
Bob Hazelton of AveragePoet.com
Steven Schroeder of poetry, philosophy, poetics…
Laurel K Dodge of Possum
Michael Parker of Michael Parker’s Journal
Collin Kelley of Collin Kelley
Alex Gildzen of Arroyo Chamisa
Sam Rasnake of sam of the ten thousand things
Levari of Night Book
Sandra Beasley of Chicks Dig Poetry
Kasey Silem Mohammad of Lime Tree
Rebbecca Loudon of Radish King
Rob Mackenzie of Surroundings
Helen Losse of Windows Toward the World
Pris Campbell of Songs To A Midnight Sky
Lorna Dee Cervantes of Lorna Dee Cervantes
Nick Bruno of They Shoot Poets

as everyone who ever lost the Oscar loves to tell the interviewers: “it was an honor just to be nominat’d.”

And so it is, Alex, an honor to be nominated. And it is a pleasure to meet you. Let us visit one another often.
