Congrats to the winners! Well deserved and big kudos. :)
But I do wonder why The Missouri Review never notified any of the other writers who entered the contest (and didn’t win). You’re not the only one–other contests (the Mississippi Review didn’t notify anyone who entered, either) do this, and I’m not sure why notification is absent.
