I have been holding this news for a week!! Here's my hot off the press (well, no press actually- so I get to let it out, thanks for nothing local newspapers!)

Announcing a new prize- Carole Weinstein gives $10,000 annually to a poet or poets from Central Virginia with strong ties to this area and significant recent contributions to the art.

The inaugural winners are Ron Smith and Elizabeth Seydel Morgan

Here's the Official Web Page with more info. Congratulations, you honor us all!
