In the immortal words of Patrick Milian: "🌟Chelsea and Patrick: A Celebration🌟"! We are being obnoxiously self-congratulatory because have now each signed POETRY publication contracts AND each won the Hermione and Louis Brown Graduate Publication Prize! Patrick for 2016-2017 for his multimodal rhythms in late Modernism paper; mine for 2017-2018 for my Flint paper (link on my site). |
