Belknap is totally making the face people should be making when they are given $50K. He should have given you guys a tutorial before you went on stage (again with the exception of the guy sitting beside you in the group photo, he obviously looks "pleased").
womack
Belknap was awesome. A hoot, even. Completely adorable.
love those smiles
hi Paul,
A thousand congratulations on your Whiting!!! I've been following your poetry since Gaz...and you so deserve this award!
By the way, I went to "your" panel in Austin hoping to meet you...but you weren't there (sadly).
(would have emailed this to you privately if I'd had your email..)
my best to you,
Pat Fargnoli
