Again, as a voter, I would have slammed that pick if it was in History. As a non-elite voter (which will make up a percentage of us voting), wouldn't think it would fit in Poetry as much as Fiction.

Hint, don't pick obscure works if you want votes (or try to be too clever and pick a popular work in a wrong category ).
