Judge Jendi Reiter comments, "Some years, the first-prize winner stands out like...well, like a trumpetfish stuck in a cephalopod's blowhole. I knew Randy Cousteau's 'The Felching of the Oct'pus' would be the one to beat, as soon as I read the title. First, here was an author who could use 'felching' in a sentence (if you don't know what it is, you will soon), and second, it was about an octopus. What more do you need? Strangely charming and disgusting at the same time, this well-crafted formal poem tells the story of two undersea creatures who overcome species-incompatibility to find romantic satisfaction."
