Did anyone see NFA poetry or prose interp finals?

What was in each? Topics? Pieces? Competitors? Arguments?

Just curious, haven't heard much...

I watched prose finals.

It was a beautiful round.

I personally would have put Anne Wilborn over Sharples, and I think Jess Clarke's incredibly innovative piece is amazing, but I really can't complain about any of the placements. It was a very very solid round.

I watched poetry finals and found out I hit 2 finalists during the prelims (one of the rounds happened to have a semi and quarterfinalist in it as well)...so I wasn't that depressed about not breaking

Topics:

Adam Swanson: The Body is a Temple
Clarence Ball: African American History is more than just slavery
Saeed Jones: Something about how blood and family doesn't define who you are
Emambu Atabong: The subtleness of patriarchy in society
Dan Johnson: Father-son relationship
Adam Sharples: Gay fatigue in society

So who did win the tournament, and who should have won the tournament, in your opinion?

Um, I don't know if it's appropriate to discuss that sort of business. Let's just respect the decisions that were made, and applaud the winners.

Personally, I say if you managed to make the final round, you deserved to win. Everything that I saw was top quality.
