I write to offer you one of our MA/MFA/PhD scholarships in poetry for the 2008 session of the Sewanee Writer's Conference.
I am sweating a lot right now just like Frank O'Hara at the Five Spot. And I am crying tears like the teakettle in Bishop's "Sestina." And I am withering slowly where I stand just like Tennyson's "Tithonus."
Oh my. Best week since the birth of my daughter. A poetry reading on Friday, my successful thesis defense, and now this maraschino of a message.
Even better than my first Bakelite:

Huzzah! Congrats, Pamela!
Hooray! Congratulations. :) You've certainly earned some success!
Wow! Congrats!
Thank you all! As you can tell, I am excited. I only know one person who's ever been to Sewanee, and she is filling my head with how beautiful it is.
Peter, when you get a chance, let me know if your contributor copy ever came from New Madrid.
Thanks again.
Congrats, Pamela. I have a couple of poet friends who have been to Sewanee and they claim it's a slice of heaven.
Hi Pamela,
I found your blog through a blogger search. I'm going to Sewanee this year, too, & I'm looking forward to meeting some other poets from the blogosphere.
Congrats on the scholarship.
