An honorable mention was awarded to Logan Foley's "Man: of Steel" and Angela Pilson's "Straight on 'til Morning."
The "One Can" broadside will be available in the next few weeks. Contact Dan Albergotti in the Department of English (albergot@coastal.edu or 843-349-2420) if you would like to purchase one.
The deadline for the next year's contest in the Paul Rice series will be announced early in the spring semester 2010.
Poet Juliana Gray of Alfred, N.Y., was the final contest judge. Gray is the author of the poetry collection The Man Under My Skin (River City Publishing, 2005). She teaches English and poetry writing at Alfred University in western New York, and in the summers teaches at the Sewanee Young Writers Conference.
The first six broadsides in the series – Erin Grauel's "Cheers," Annie Silva's "Country Summers, Country Songs," Brandon Wolf's "Living in the Days of Noah," Stephanie Bouzounis's "Phoenix," William Chao's "Seriously Funny" and Lauren Moore's "Knock-Off Nature" – are still available.
