Representin'

Today, the director of the creative writing program told me that he'd selected me to represent our MFA program in the UVA's Best New Poets competition.

Here's a blurb from the contest:

Best New Poets is an annual anthology of 50 poems from emerging writers. This year's guest editor is Mark Strand, and he will select 50 poems from nominations made by literary magazines and writing programs, as well as an Open Internet competition.
