2009 Best of the Net

First of all, I extend my sympathy to Glenda Beall and her family upon the loss of her beloved husband, Barry. We all loved Barry and appreciate very much all the work he did for North Carolina Writers Network-West. Barry took photos of our writers' events and was always faithful. We will all miss him very much. Glenda and her family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Barry always supported the writers of this region. I think he would be glad to heard I was nominated as 2009 "Best of the Net" for my poem, "Crepe Roses," that was published on THE DEAD MULE SCHOOL OF SOUTHERN LITERATURE website (April, 2009).

  2. Brenda Kay, Thank you for posting to the Netwest Blog. Congratulations on your Dead Mule School of Southern Literature award. Yes, I believe Barry would be happy to hear it. We need to keep talking now,
    keep sharing our work, and we need to support our Program Coordinator.

  3. I will add my congratulations too, Brenda. Good for you and no surprise.

    Nancy, I wish I had something to post here or on my blog. I am just too mentally and physically active right now to sit down and write. Maybe I will get back in the swing this winter.
