BUCKLEY’S POEM WINS PRIZE: Cheyenne native B.J. Buckley, now living in Lolo, Mont., sent some good news: “I just found out that my poem, ‘An Accident of Biology, Geography, and Time,’ won the first prize from Cutthroat Magazine, a wonderful new little magazine from Colorado; first issue due out soon, with publication of the poem plus the prize is more than a thousand dollars. I'm pretty happy on both counts, as you might imagine, especially at this time of year!” In 1989, when she still lived in WYO, B.J. won a WAC creative writing fellowship and her award-winning poetry was included in the anthology Letter from Wyoming. She also was one of the 19 writers with WYO ties featured in the 2003 anthology Deep West: A Literary Tour of Wyoming. B.J. and Saratoga writer Dawn Senior are collected in a new book from Pronghorn Press, Moonhorses & the Red Bull.
