Just curious as to why Sonnet Phelps' photo is part of this Poetry article when her name doesn't appear anywhere? thanks.

kathleen porter-nielsen, you must be blind cuz it's clearly in the paragraph right below her name...

Is Sonnet's last name Phelp or Phelps? It's Phelps beneath her photo and Phelp in the third paragraph of the article.

Please don't tell me the bright winning student doesn't know the difference between it's and its. It's cringe-worthy (4th paragraph, 3rd line).

Seventh paragraph, first sentence, needs a semi-colon.

In spite of the article's cry for a little copy editing, the content itself is great. Congratulations to the winners and for the fine work being done by Schola Cantorum.

Glad to learn a Sonnet won the competition last year.

"The Starry Night" (Van Gogh 1889) with the Moon and galaxy M 51 (Whirlpool 'Nebula') - not to be confused with his 1889 "Starry Night over the Rhone" which clearly shows the Big Dipper part of the constellation Ursa Major (The Big Bear) in a dark sky.

Loved the Cyndi Lauper "She's So Unusual" album reference (2nd in the Popular Culture footnotes).
