Marina Hope Wilson
What a lovely and generous idea! I have a chapbook out via Cooper Dillon Books--would that count as a book? I'm sending the link for that and the link for my website (because it has links to a couple of relatively recent awards at the bottom)--I don't have a ton of awards, but I've gotten a few mentions which are listed in the bio below. Probably the Rash Award and being selected as a Friends of the San Francisco Public Library Brown-Handler Artist-in-Residence are the most noteworthy. I've gotten a couple of residencies (not the big name ones) and was a runner up for this year's Scotti Merrill Award the Key West Literary Seminar, but still just doing my best to find time to write poems in my regular work-a-day life.

In Memoriam
Charles Simic
1938–2023
Remembered by Mario Duarte
Thomas Lux
1946–2017
Remembered by Paul Hostovsky
"I studied poetry writing with Charlie for two years at the University of New Hampshire, some of the best years of my life. Charlie was an insightful reader, with a wicked sense of humor, who introduced me to poets from Europe and Latin America. His work ethic, and imaginative, at times comic writing, with a keen focus on imagery will always inspire me."
