Ashraf Osman added a note yesterday suggesting that I ought to let you know that I’ve been nominated for 2006 Poet Laureate of the Blogosphere over at the Poetisphere website. Why he would tell me this is a little unclear, since he himself is currently leading the “race” for this august honor. Maybe he thinks the pleasure of beating me will be greater if I campaign.

The 2005 Laureate was Jilly Dybka. I’m sure that winning this would change my life every bit as profoundly as winning has changed hers.
