The winning poem is spare in its use of poetic conventions, but is startling and vivid in its imagery. Each of its core images will stay burned in my mind for some time to come. In the poem, we see ourselves reflected in subtle ways: our flaws and strengths at odds with one another and yet sitting side by side comfortably.
Join us for the launch of “dreampunk” by Ronald Seatter, the 2015 John Newlove Award Recipient. Featuring readings by the 2016 honourable mentions and award recipient (to be announced at the reading), plus music by Naviger.
Books available for purchase at every event: Proceeds support our free children’s literacy programs.
