first, we are happy to announce that JOSEPH MASSEY guessed all three blanks correctly 1) The Lyric VALUABLES 2) Lyricism of the SWERVE and 3) John Taggart’s PASTORELLES, so he gets 3 Omnidawn books of his choice.
for the radical guesses, we are giving MATT a prize for his answer: “Nice work if you can get it: john taggart’s HIGH PAID, SECRET GOVERNMENT JOB.” Matt wins an Omnidawn book of his choice.
and finally, we chose DEREK‘s answer: “elephant” for the final winner. He also wins any Omnibook of his choice.

I believe the answers are “yes” and “absence”, but I’d prefer them to be “door” and “spectacles”, personally…
I belatedly second “yes” and “absence” as technically correct. My original, awful guesses were “orifices” for both. sorry.
