Gloria Zachgo won Don Marler's contest with her definition of verbal, situational, and dramatic irony—presented in the form of a short story. Her winning entry is posted on her blog at www.gloriazachgo.com. Congratulations, Gloria, and thanks for sponsoring the contest, Don. Roy Stucky and Ray Racobs were runners-up.
We had our biggest crowd in quite a while, with every seat filled for Ken Hada's enthralling reading of his poems accompanied by projected images of his brother's watercolors of the White River in Arkansas. Ken took us on a tour from the river's origins to its confluence with the Mississippi. Thanks to the folks who bought copies of his books!
