Yes! I was hoping you would pick her collection. I really like her poems.
She is a good poet. I have admired many of the poems of hers I have seen in magazines over the past few years.
It's a really strong collection. It's a cliche to say it, but all the finalists were really fine collections; it made the judging difficult but satisfying.
I was pretty sure you would pick her as well. She's good!
I had missed her somehow. This was the first time I'd ever read her work. I'm glad others like it too!
