*trying to act all normal and nonchalant while concealing the squealing*
It appears that not only was feign selected as a finalist in the NMP/Diagram contest, but they actually want to publish the thing. Holy hell, and here I almost didn't enter at all when I was boo-hooing about how hopeless contests seemed. I'm way excited, considering I love both the web journal and the chapbooks NMP publishes. That's why I went ahead and entered anyway, even after all my whining. And they've published at least two of the contemporary poets in my pantheon of poet goddesses, so I'm psyched to even be associated with the press. I'd entered last year with errata to no avail and was expecting as much this year, but WOW...
