USPS tracking information shows my package o’ books was delivered yesterday. I received official confirmation not quite an hour ago—so my entry ‘is now complete.’ Announcements of winners and finalists will be made next April 10th.

This Is Fifty-three, Pulitzer edition, part 5
With my replacement copies yet to arrive as of today, and no indication that they might be arriving tomorrow, I decided to tell Mercury retrograde to go screw itself, and mailed the copies I have to the Pulitzer folks.
