The winners of the 10th annual Data Dump Award have been announced and I am gratified to learn that my poem Virgil's Ongoing Researches (which was published in Worlds of the Unknown #1) has been placed joint-second! I share the spot with the award's most successful recipient, Cardinal Cox. Despite having made it onto the long- and short-lists numerous times over the years, this is the first time one of my poems has been placed.
I am equally delighted to learn that the first-place winner and joint-thirds were all published in magazines I've edited - not that I can claim credit for the talent of Neal Wilgus, Eric Ferris and Bryn Fortey that actually won them the accolade.
