Many thanks to Split Rock Review and editor Crystal Gibbons for nominating my poem “Driving to Visit a Friend with Cancer, I Witness a Car Crash” for a Best of the Net Award! This poem means a lot to me personally as it is in memory of my dear friend Robert Byrd, who meant so very much to so very many people, including artists and filmmakers all over the country through his work as a producer, grants officer, and filmmaker himself.
