One of these is me
I wonder sometimes about this whole voting process. We are supposed to judge an artist based on a small presentation that is centered around an 8x10 sheet of paper that features a mere blurb of the authors work. It's hard to truly encapsulate and author in such a limited sample and so short a time. Half the time it seems like people (myself included) are voting for whoever has the best picture. Do I like Ava Limon? No, but i'd like to watch her read some poetry in front of me in a skirt. The process is certainly flawed and great writers are surely slipping through the cracks based on looking like a dad or having a less than impressive sales pitch by one of my class mates. but i suppose this is the only feasible way short of assigning people to read an entire collection their work.
