Somehow time got away from me among the countless papers, files, letters, etc until I came across these two tiles sent to me from previous winners of the Gival Press Poetry Award:
1. “A World Made Cunningly” by George Klawitter (his winning title: “Let Orpheus Take Your Hand”)
2. “Intersections on Neptune” by Donna J. Gelagotis Lee (her winning title “On the Altar of Greece”)
As with wine, a good book of poetry simply gets better with age.
Belated congratulations, George & Donna!
