All selections are tentative and subject to change until the selected poets verify their eligibility for the 2007 anthology; if you are listed above, the series editor will contact you in the next few days. Some poem titles on this list may appear truncated or altered from the selection process; they will be corrected for the anthology. We also still need to select two Open Competition entrants for $200 prizes. Will have that done in a few days.
