Steven Shields Poem Places in Sonnet Competition

Steven Shields writes:

Just a word to let you know a poem of mine placed as an honorable mention in this year's sonnet competition of the New England Shakespeare Festival (see www.newenglandshakespeare.org/sonnet_contest.htm). If you're wondering how I found out about it to begin with, here's an interesting site for those of us who sometimes work in forms: http://www.ramblingrose.com/poetry/formalpubs.html.


If you go there, you'll probably notice I supplied them with a link to our Edgar Bowers Contest. Anybody who favors the sonnet might also want to observe the Nov 15th deadline for the Nemerov Award, worth $1,000 to the winner.
