| *New Poetry Today Episode with Ann E. Michael* |
| Highland Park Poetry is pleased to announce the following nominations for Sundress Publications’ 2024 Best of the Net Anthology:
Highland Park Poetry editor's note: I chose to nominate poets who responded to the Highland Park shooting on July 4, 2022. I included Ellen Savage's poem, Observing Ahimsa, written about Uvalde, Texas school shooting as a reminder that this can happen in any community and it does. There were many more poems submitted and posted on the subject but the Best of Net guidelines limit editors to only 6 poem nominations. Thank you to all of the poets who shared poetry after last summer's tragic shooting in Highland Park. Your poems did something that poetry does very well - to let readers begin to process the unthinkable, the painful, the thing we have no words for. ~ Jennifer Dotson
