Prairie Home Companion

picked "Monochrome Rainbows" as a finalist in its sonnet competition.

Update: I was away from home all day yesterday and didn't get to hear the live show, but I tuned in for the rebroadcast today courtesy of OPB. Very nice reading. They didn't read all of the finalists-- there were over 30-- but they did read mine. It feels awfully strange to know my sonnet went out to a listening audience of thousands. Yes, in theory, anyone in (most of) the world could have read it on my blog-- but as I've said before, I'm only one fish in an electronic ocean that gets bigger every day.

Alhumdulillah. National Poetry Month has been good to me so far.
