I can't leave this good news alone. And this time I had enough breath to read the Edgar Lee Masters poem. I wanted to mention that the audio version of Witness has a great Leonard Marcus interview with Karen Hesse, in which, among other things, she gives a grateful nod to the Spoon River anthology. Something to listen to while you wait for those editorial notes.
