Some lovely and unexpected news announced last week, while I was away at a writing workshop: one of my short poems, “what Mama says”, received an honourable mention in the 5th Annual Muriel’s Journey Poetry Prize.
The prize is in honour of social justice activist and poet Muriel Marjorie, and it’s an extra honour to be part of something built around putting good in the world.
The piece will be published alongside the winners and other honourable mentions in this year’s chapbook from Three Ocean Press, and there’s an event in the works for Word on the Street Vancouver.
