Things have been a bit hectic around here what with the Bee-In and all, but we have finally made a decision in our Poem-In-Which-Every-Word-Is-Spelled-Wrong Bee. It is a tie! In a hotly contested fight to the finish, Bhanu Kapil and Dan Thomas-Glass came in together in a dead heat of votes! We are therefore awarding not one but two $100 gift certificates -- one to Bhanu and one to Dan!
Congradualations ta yu bothe!!
Kudos should also be given to our other contestants. We will include a selection of the best wrongly spelled poems soon. There were several excellent ones. Well done poet spellers!

POME PER MEE DORG, PORQI
by Bhanu Kapil
Porqi, cimmere yeh Bashtard: azs wi sey een der YOOKAY.
End hee Gellops farard azs hee shood.
Shame canni bee sed fer deh uver Bashtard een mee LIF:
Mee "Marn," mi "Louvre wid norbs on."*
*Thash** "gnobs," ashkually.
**Ay shound DRENK! Ay shound tertelly orf mee trimble!
