Poetry Book Give-Away Challenge

UPDATE: DEADLINE EXTENDED TO MIDNIGHT TONIGHT!

As part of my celebration of National Poetry Month, I noted in my post of April 1 that I am giving away two books of poetry. One, Best New Poets: 50 Poems from Emerging Writers, is going to a person whose name will be drawn randomly from all the names left in the comments section for that April 1 post.  (Today's the deadline for leaving a comment there.) The other collection, 19 Varieties of Gazelle: Poems of the Middle East, is to be awarded to the first person who posts the correct answers to either the first 10 questions (1-10) or the last 10 questions (11-20) below. All of the questions are based on my poetry-related posts here at Writing Without Paper.

To participate in the challenge, you must leave your answers in the comments section for today's post by 5:00 p.m. EST. I will not select a winner until the deadline passes.

Please number your answers in the same order as the questions appear, check that you've answered all parts of each question, and be sure that your answers correspond to the set of questions you've chosen to answer (1-10 or 11-20). The answers are found easily in the posts I've written on poets and poetry beginning April 1.

I'll announce the winners of both books on May 3. Note: If you do not have a blog, please be sure to include with your responses an e-mail address where I can reach you. No anonymous responses will be considered.
