Erica Sato’s reading of my poem “Solitude.” Click through to Erica’s contest page to vote for her entry!

Erica’s entry is #20, which means I’ll be giving away a second prize package to a random winner when my Kindle Fire contest ends on March 1st!

Although voting for the contest continues through midnight Feb 29th, the deadline to submit your video entry is TONIGHT. To be specific, your entry must be in by 11:59 p.m. Central time — which gives you about 13 hours to record a video of yourself reading one of my poems.

Winners will be selected by popular vote. The grand prize winner will receive a brand new Kindle Fire, Amazon’s new ereader / tablet. 2nd and 3rd place winners will receive $50 Amazon gift cards, and 4th and 5th place winners will receive $25 Amazon cards.

Also, two randomly-chosen winners will receive $25 Amazon cards as well, and all winners will receive an autographed copy of my poetry collection, Ventricle, Atrium, and a pair of free ebooks.

A total of seven winners will be selected!

Remember, the deadline is just 13 hours away, so if you haven’t recorded your video yet, hop to it! Click here for full contest rules and entry form.
