Prelude to a Pulitzer =PCongratulations are in order.
Today I found out that I have been honored by the International Library of Poetry (again). This is the third time in a decade of dealing with them that I've been graced with their Editor's Choice Award. Although I'm still not completely convinced of the merit of this institution, I've been carelessly sending them copies of most of the poems that fall out of my head at any given moment before I post them to my blogs or webpages.
They copyright my work for free and send me author's proofs on this bond paper I like.
Apparently, I'm an author who's been published more than once in a few of ILP's leather-bound anthologies. One of these days I'll drop by a library and borrow "Dance Upon the Shore" to see if it's true. I happen to be a writer who couldn't afford her own book, you see. Hahah
And I'm now proud to announce that, with my written permission, I'll also be recorded this year on a 33-track, three-album CD set I also can't afford.
Strange, though.. Of all the heartfelt work I've sent in, they chose one of my sex poems to spotlight.
And all this time I thought it was a reputable organiztion. lol
With my own writing being toasted, it ocurred to me that I'm interested in nosing around in someone else's written business. Tomorrow I'll be bringing "TACHBUCH" in. With the help of a decent online translator, it shouldn't be that difficult to decipher this 80-year old German mystery...

I always thought that little c in a circle was thanks enough. I consider this one step up from actually mailing my writing to myself and keeping it in a sealed envelope (the layman's way of preserving one's work).
(Pah-ha) Highlighted on my letter was some blue scribble scrabble in which the nominating editor comments, "Christina's verse is wonderfully expressive--I suggest you also select it for the "Sound of Poetry" -CS"
