THE FOURTH DAILY POEM PROJECT, FINAL ROUND
Here are the poems to vote for in the final round of my fourth Daily Poem Project. They are the winners of the twelve rounds from Monday, February 18, to Sunday, May 11 (each week's poems being those that appeared on Poetry Daily that week; week 9 ended in a tie, hence the two poems from that week):

2. Martha Zweig's Overturn
3. B. T. Shaw's We End, Like Galileo
4. Damian Walford Davies's Plague
5. Mary Jo Salter's Point of View
6. Bill Zavatsky's Ode to the Maker of Odes
7. Marie Howe's The Star Market
8. Adam Zagajewski's In a Little Apartment, translated by Clare Cavanagh
9a. Sidney Wade's Siamo a la Frutta
9b. John Rybicki's Her Body Like a Lantern Next to Me
10. Elaine Sexton's Night. Fire
11. Lisa Williams's Horizontally, I Moved
12. Martha Rhodes's Come to Me, His Blood
HOW TO VOTE: Please vote for only ONE poem. You can send your vote to me by email or as a comment on the blog. If you want to vote by commenting but do not want your vote to appear on the blog, you just have to say so in your comment (I moderate all comments). (If you read this on Facebook, please vote on my blog and not as a comment on Facebook.) I will post comments as they come in (unless you tell me not to post the comment, of course).
You may vote by the title, the author's name, or the number of the poem in the list above. Please make a final decision and vote for only one poem (although it is always interesting to see people's lists).
I will not set a particular deadline for you to vote by, as I will be trying to recruit lots of people to vote in this final round. (If you vote, feel free to pass on the call for votes to as many people as you like!) As long as this post does not say that voting is closed, you may still vote! (As of now, Friday, May 23, the voting is still open and I'd love to hear from anyone who is interested!)
If you would like to receive an email announcing the posting of the results, make sure to get me your email address somehow (if it is not available through your blogger profile or the like, say).
