  • Ed Madden, “Gold,” from Sebastian
  • Pamela L. Sumners, “(Supposing) My Mother Was a Blue Heron,” from Finding Helen
  • Deborah Fries, “Half of a Golden Hurt,” from Having Visions Again
  • Gail Griffin, “Marvels,” from Virginals
  • Darius Atefat-Peckham, “Here’s a Love Poem for Navid the Wrestler,” from How Many Love Poems
