I was actually emotional when I found out that Eye to the Telescope had nominated my poem, “The Year of the Dragon” (originally published for their Dragon issue), for a Best of the Net. For one, I’d never been nominated for this honor before, and to have the nomination be from such a well-respected literary journal and for a poem as personal to me as this one, it made me very happy. Plus, the other nominees were fantastic poems as well, so to be thought of as worthy to be in the same company…I have no words.
