Dear all,
Just to report that my second poetry collection “White Sheets” (CBeditions, London, 2012) was a finalist for the Forward Prize (Jorie Graham, another finalist, won) and that my translation “Apollinaire: The Little Auto” (CBeditions, 2012) was a finalist for the Northern California Book Award.
