boston’s best dad

As many writers alter ego as editors, all too often their own work is overshadowed by their press efforts.  I know the feeling and its a little bittersweet. But today is a different day because Janaka Stucky has been voted Best Poet by the city of Boston.


You might know Janaka as the body behind Black Ocean, but he’s also a killer poet In this year’s “best of” poll, the readers of the Boston Phoenix made their choice. And just look at who the competition was.

Sam Cornish
Robert Pinsky
Louise Gluck
Rosanna Warren
Margo Lockwood
Frank Bidart

Massachusetts might be filled with assholes, but goddamn we’re progressive. First gay marriage, now this. Congrats J.
