support the arts

Improbably, my post "Lucky" has been nominated--along with 78 others--for the 2010 "3 Quarks Daily" Prize in Arts and Literature. This year the contest is being judged by former U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky, who coincidentally was a judge for the Kathryn Irene Glascock Poetry Prize in 1993, the year I was invited.

The full list of nominees is here, along with an opportunity to vote.

If you read "Lucky" and like it, consider voting, or read some of the other nominated posts and vote for the one you like best. The important thing is not who you vote for, but that you visit the site and vote for someone. 3 Quarks Daily is a good site that works hard to do good things for the literary world. We all need to support organizations like that.
