Our Forum’s Envoys to the August IBPC

Once again there was only a single nomination posted in the InterBoard Poetry Competition folder, so Poetry Guide Margy Snyder has chosen a couple of her favorite poems from those recently posted in our Forum to round out our set of three entries in this month’s InterBoard Poetry Competition. The poems chosen to represent the About Poetry Forum are:

• “Thanking the Devil” by Radhamani, cited as “superb writing” by its nominator, pallasite, and as “nicely chanted” by another reader, Elianah.
• “Emily and Me in New York,” by Guy Kettelhack (GuyBlakeKett), whose rhyming quatrains beautifully echo Miss Dickinson’s poems–hesitation-dashes, transcendental language and all–in a contemporary ode to his muse-city.
• “Unnoticed,” a spooky and captivating sequence of images “just on the edge of familiarity” by Tim J. Brennan (68degrees).

Very fine work by all three poets — we’re proud to have them represent us. Applause, applause!
