Congratulations to Thomas Rucker, whose poem "Soul's Depths" was voted as our Silver Pen Award winner for our premier issue. The voting was close, but in the end Thomas edged out runner-up Jimmy Burns, capture first issue honors.

As a token of our appreciation and to stand as a symbol of his accomplishment, Thomas will be receiving a silver pen and pencil gift set.

We will feature bios for both Mr. Rucker and Mr. Burns on the site in the near future.
