While we're congratulating Rhysling nominees, let's not forget Spec House's founder and editor, J. Bruce Fuller, whose poem "28 Blackbirds at the End of the World," was nominated in the long poem category. Good luck J!

Well thanks very much. Good luck to the both of us. I really have too many people to pull for in this year's vote, and not enough votes to go around...I can get used to problems like this. --J
