Literary Award Finalist

“Criticism occupies the lowest place in the literary hierarchy: as regards form, almost always; and as regards moral value, incontestably. It comes after rhyming games and acrostics, which at least require a certain inventiveness.”
—Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)

“The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.”
