Ha, forget this talk about who the best American poet is.  It's me.  I just got the following confrimation:
  
Robert,

The Editors of The International Library of Poetry were thrilled to inform you that your poem was bestowed the prestigious Editor's Choice Award because of your artistic accomplishments and unique perspective--characteristics found in the most noteworthy poetic works. To further commemorate this prestigious achievement we have elected you to receive the 2006 Editor's Choice Published Poet Ribbon Award Pin"

Can Seidel or even Mole say the same?!!


  Hey, Bob, one of my students won a $5000 prize from one of these things!

  That's a surprise to me, Sam--but on reflection, it would make sense for them to let a few people win, a la Vegas.  Do you think your student won on merit or via name-out-of-a-hat?
