NEWSPAPER BLACKOUT POEMS

WINNERS OF THE OCTOBER NEWSPAPER BLACKOUT POEM CONTEST

Monday, October 27th, 2008 | Permalink

Lots of dentistry-themed poems this month, but the winner was Marty Smith of Washington, DC, for his poem, “Teeth.”

teeth by marty smith

I dig the graphic inventiveness of Marty’s poem—”subtraction” method, indeed!

Our runner-ups were all from the grand state of Illinois: Pete Anderson from Joliet, and Kristen Delap and James Francis Flynn from Chicago.

Congratulations, Marty, Pete, Kristen, and James! Y’all will get your free books next September.

Okay, folks: you have one more shot at a free book. Check back November 1st for the next contest!
