Editor’s note: What follows are this year’s winning poems, as selected by our anonymous judge (now revealed as Laura Adrian). We took what she dished up: bowls of Malt-O-Meal and Cream of Wheat peanut butter and honey in homemade buns glasses of mixed milk — half powdered, half whole. We took the shirts that came off her Singer: Minnesota Fabrics married to Simplicity. We took the words she read each night: Eeyore and Piglet and Owl Thidwick and Horton and Yertle.
