No Walt Whitman prize this year for Buccino

Looks like someone else won the 2011Walt Whitman Award:

and the winner is Elana Bell


Walt Whitman Award

The Walt Whitman Award brings first-book publication, a cash prize of $5,000, and a one-month residency at the Vermont Studio Center to an American who has never before published a book of poetry. The winning manuscript, chosen by an eminent poet, is published by Louisiana State University Press. The Academy purchases copies of the book for distribution to its members.
The good news is that we'll likely publish our entry later this year through Cherry Blossom Press.  Keep an eye here to see.
