Georgia Author of the Year [Poetry]

Hello friends. This is a wonderful honor for me, as well as the group of Athens poets who helped refine my poems weekly at Donderos’ Kitchen over coffee and brownies. I’d like to name them indivdually: Bob Ambrose Jr, Penny Noah, and David Oates, my tablemates at Donderos’, as well as the fellow poet who selected and edited over 300 poems from handwritten pages for this 75-poem collection, Mark Bromberg. Thank you to all! Best, Gene.
