She re ceived $B,OOO for the poems she submitted. Out-of-state judges selected two poets, two fiction writers, and one non-fiction writer to receive grants. Gibson was selected out of approximately 170 poets. "I am expecting to be called for reading engagements and work shops around the state," she said, "but I will only attend those that my job will allow."
