I came home last week to the good news that my short prose poem “Refeeding” has taken third place in this year’s Rhonda Gail Williford Award for Poetry, run by the International Human Rights Art Movement.
It’s part of a legitimately international roster of winners and honourable mentions, all focused on sincerity, vulnerability, and courage in the fairly perpetual work of a more just world. Which makes this quite deeply felt.
The poem, other winners, and finalists are all available as of yesterday on the award site!
