Special Events in DPA NewsThe 2017 NFSPS Convention was June 29 – July 2, 2017, at the Downtown Hilton in Fort Worth, Texas. It was a great program.
DPA had eleven members attend the event including, Cindy Wood, J. Paul Holcomb, Chris Irving, Betty Roberts, Bob Schinzel, Becca Hines, Susan Maxwell Campbell, Diane Glancy, Kelly Weathers, Shiny Wu, and Patrick Marshall. If we missed anyone we apologize.
Diane Glancy enchanted the crowd with her presentation, “Extract the
Signature, How to Shape a Manuscript.”
Chris Irving won the top prize, First Place in the NFSPS Founder’s Award and $1,000.
Seven of our members won awards in the NFSPS Poetry Contests, a stellar showing, taking 22 awards, representing 45% of the contests. An honorable mention in this contest typically means you are in the 2–5% the poets that entered. That is a significant achievement.
Our Congratulation to each of you.
