Now that it's official, I can finally tell the world that I have, on my fifteenth try (yes, I've been applying since 1993), been awarded a 2008 Guggenheim Foundation fellowship. While I would certainly have liked to have received one earlier, this fellowship could not have come at a time when I needed it more, as my medical bills for my cancer treatments and surgeries have been mounting at a frightening rate.
I keep looking at the list of Fellows on the Guggenheim Foundation web site to confirm that my name is still there. Sometimes the world does give one what one needs when one needs it. Just not very often...

Yes, that is good news, gospel for the poetry world. Did you know that 15 is the number of "imaginative ascent" in hermetic poetry? Hope 15 will really be lucky for you!
Let me add my congratulations to the chorus, Reginald.
