The hot hot gossip is that trinational man of mystery George Stanley will be awarded the Shelley Prize (given with regard to "genius and need") at the annual ceremony of the Poetry Society of America (where he will most surely co-write an occasional pantoum with Maxine Kumin). Stanley being one of our most beloved poets, we congratulate him and wish him a lovely trip to New York for the event, and rather expect a travel poem to follow, perhaps a mixture of "A Trip in Ireland" and "How Was Calgary?" with a pinch of "My Trip to New York."
