Critique of the 2009 Dwarf Star Anthology

I would encourage (beg) anyone interested in discussing the anthology or specific poems in it to visit my poem by poem critique, posted here:

I'd love to see who voted for which poems, and more importantly, WHY they voted for them. What about the winners appealed to those who voted for them? What about poems that others voted for which didn't win? I'd also like to hear what authors think about the poems that were chosen for inclusion in the anthology. Let me know your thoughts.
