Professor Valerie Miner invited self to speak to her Women’s Studies class at Stanford.
One of her students ended up writing a paper on self’s Mayor of the Roses and the poetry of Brenda Hillman.
Professor Miner thought the paper was so good that she decided to nominate it for an undergraduate writing prize.
Naturally, many other Stanford professors nominated their own students for same prize.
Guess whose won? Can’t you just tell, dear blog readers?
Happy happy joy joy, happy happy joy joy . . .

Oh you so deserve it. I was reading Mayor of the Roses last night in the middle of the night. It’s truly a great book. 🙂
