I Won a Contest and Now I Have a Chapbook
So, a little while back I won the Gloom Cupboard poetry contest.

The prize for winning the contest is that the good people at erbacce-press published a book of my poems.

This is awesome for me for obvious reasons. It also means that, if for any reason you've ever wanted to, you can now purchase a book of my poetry for a very reasonable price. It's titled 'Skidding Through the Mud Incognito.' It's much better than donating your money to charity, because I have four children and I am a full-time student. I'm the poorest person you know.

Could a girl be any more excited?


Thanks to Father Luke, for immortalizing me on a bottle.

Well done Jen. I entered a poetry comp. once at Poetry dot com and all I got was 500 emails offering me everything from my poem written on vellum to the chance to hear it read in Las Vegas. You are obviously good at picking the right competitions as well as writing the best poems. I shall go have a look, you may well sell another copy.
