dear friends as the actual poet laureate i confirm the receive of the trophy which was announced and sent from jeff aitken as the facilitator of the past contest and celebration. i´ve got jeff´s personal copy of early prose poems of robert bly, edited in 1978. looking in vain for something like a dedication i had to learn, that a trophy must not show any sign about being an object of special importance. only i myself can add that importance by reading the poems and knowing or speaking about how i did get it. perhaps i had to learn, that there is not any importance in the world beside me to be prepared for the equal importance of everything which happens in the world. thanks jeff for that lesson.please have a look to my other mail "poet laureate" which is my thanksgiving with a new poem "gendering poly game".
