Leaves by Night, Flowers by Day

After days and hours spent poring over manuscripts, judges Rustin Larson, Nynke Passi, and Christine Schrum are pleased to present the winners of the Iowa Source 2006 poetry anthology: Leaves by Night, Flowers by Day. The anthology contains poems from 34 poets living across the United States and in Australia and Indonesia as well. We received scores of submissions, but somehow we managed to whittle them down to these 65 poems, which stood out in some way for all three judges, whether for the poem's humor, poignancy, lyricism, striking imagery, craftsmanship, or a skilled combination thereof.
