Winning first place in the poetry section was both a thrill and an honour and the prize money will definitely pay a few bills. The poem is an epic recounting of the 1820 presidentially-commissioned hunt for the Jersey Devil. An excerpt from the five page poem will be posted on the Rannu website. In the fall the entire poem will appear, online, in the pages of Chi-Zine. |

Awesome Steve, this makes me want to read a five page poem about the 1820 Presidentially commissioned hunt for the Jersey Devil, and I never thought I would type that sentence. |

Damn! The Mighty Vernon writes poetry that wins competitions ... this guy is like the Jim Thorpe of the writing world. Of course, I'd love to see a 300 page poem on Captain Nothing ... I can always dream, can't I? Good job, Steve!
