Yes, it’s that time of year again! Talk about making a list and checking it twice!
I was able to nominate for both vox poetica and unbound CONTENT this year, which means double the poems so honored. unbound CONTENT published 5 titles this year (two releasing in the next week–more on that later!), giving me about 200 poems to choose from there, and at vox there were about 425 eligible poems to choose from. The short lists alone were not so short, with about 10% of the poems making it to that point. But what I’m left with, yet again, is an amazing sense of gratitude to you all for giving me such marvelous work to publish.
Here are the nominees:
