I'm happy to announce that WAIT is one of five poetry book finalists for the 2012 Ohioana Book Award, an award designed to "bring national attention to Ohio authors and their books."
Thanks to Ohioana Library, and to Executive Director Linda R. Hengst for letting me know (and for remembering and not embarrassing me too much about my first-ever poetry reading, done at Ohioana many many years ago).
