As you are aware, I am Coordinator of the Voices of Lincoln Poetry Contest. The theme of this year’s contest was “Seeing Is Believing Through Poetry.” One hundred four (104) poets entered the contest from 66 cities in 14 states and five (5) countries. Twenty-seven (27) winning poets will have their poems published in our chapbook of winning poetry.

 

Each year, to introduce the five contest categories and the winning poems, I write a poem. It is my pleasure to share with you this year’s poem . . .
