Our winner, M-dog, was fab-u-lous. So who is Utah shipping to the National Competition to make grabby fists at $20,000? Devin Jones, that's who. Two of his poems are very familiar (shout out to E & J). Here's his winning trio: "Alone" by Edgar Allen Poe "Across the Bay" by Donald Davie "The Oldest Living Thing in LA" by Larry Levis The National Competition will stream live April 29-30, 2013 here. What's your favorite poem? |
