A deep thank-you, first, to Blarg, our long-serving, long-suffering, noble AW Poet Laureate. He runs a superb contest, gives sterling reviews, and turns a fine phrase.

Blarg, thank you for your stellar stewardship, and may you find satisfaction in the knowledge of a term well served.

Now, I have the distinct pleasure of announcing our new Poet Laureate - prolific, encouraging, welcoming, inclusive, sanguine.

Please, everyone, welcome AWPL XVI --

Congratulations, Terry, and thank you for assuming the mantle!

excellent choice! (Now I must go and figure out what a PL does here, but no matter what it is, excellent choice!)

Congrats.

WELL deserved. TP is a thoughtful, dedicated poet, and offers wonderful insight both in verse and in his critiques.

I can't wait to see what kind of parties/contests he throws. They do EVERYTHING big in Texas!
