Spring Equinox Prize

The winners of the 3 Quarks Daily Arts and Literature Prize were announced today. Alas, my quantum tantra entry The New Sex Robot was not among those chosen for this prestigious award. I thank all of you who voted for me and also the judges whose job was made difficult by the high quality of the entries. The 3QD editors timed this prize for the Spring Equinox. And for the contemplation of Jabir's Formula--quantum tantra's primary axiom--what better excuse than Spring? So here is an Equinox prize for you.

JABIR'S FORMULA
I want to woo Her not view Her
Pet Reality until She purrs
Longing to merge with Dame Nature bodily
Yearning to mingle my substance with Hers
And them content with merely observing
Are nothing but Nature's voyeurs.

Last Chance to VOTE FOR NICK

Tomorrow (March 7, 2010) the voting will be closed for the
3 Quarks Daily Art & Literature Prize in which I have nominated
my wonderful erotic poem The New Sex Robot.

Vote for NICK.

Thanks to your enthusiastic support
Nick Herbert's "Quantum Tantra: The New Sex Robot"
has now been elevated into the ranks of Top Ten.

But the votes are still close.

Here is a situation (unlike the American presidential race)
where a few of your votes can make a powerful difference.

If you have already VOTED FOR NICK, I thank you much.
If you have not VOTED FOR NICK, shame on you.

Thanks in advance.

VOTE FOR NICK

3 Quarks Daily is awarding a prize this Spring Equinox for Top Blog Post in Art and Literature. I have submitted one of my poems and am soliciting your vote.

VOTE FOR NICK HERE

My entry is listed in the poetry section as Quantum Tantra: The New Sex Robot. I'm sure you will agree that this work deserves some sort of recognition: I consider it a new version of Goethe's Faust. Winners will be announced on the Spring Equinox.

Nick Goes For the Gold

3 Quarks Daily is a group blog covering an astonishing range of topics. I visit its pages at least once a week--am seldom disappointed and often surprised. (I last linked to 3QD re a piece of Sufi mysticism from an unlikely source.) Recently 3QD has been awarding a series of 3 prizes (Top, Strange and Charm) for best blog posts in the fields of politics, science and philosophy. The winner of the 2009 Top Quark Prize for Science can be viewed here.

Today 3QD opened nominations for their Arts and Literature Prize which will be judged by former American Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky. I placed one of my poems The New Sex Robot into the running this morning. Voting on entries (limited to 200 nominations) will take place from March 1 to March 7 and the winners will be announced on March 20. Tell all your friends. Support your favorite blogger.
