Marvin Bell, Finalist Judge

Perigee is excited to announce that renowned poet Marvin Bell has agreed to serve as Finalist Judge for Perigee's 2006 Poetry Contest, opening September 1st. We know all of you join us in welcoming him, and here's your chance to actually say it (post a comment)!

Poetry Editor Jensea Storie worked with Bell at Pacific University, where he is a faculty member of the MFA Creative Writing program. He was kind enough to accept her, and our, invitation to join us as Finalist Judge.

We are sure that Bell's instinct and talent will lend a whole new dimension to our annual contest, and carry on the legacy of our past guest judges Judy Jordan and Steve Kowit.
