2007 Poetry Contest Winners Announced!
Perigee is pleased to announce the winners and honorable mentions in our recent 2007 Poetry Contest.
All those who participated have our thanks. Writing poetry is not easy. Offering up that poetry to be judged against other poems and poets deserves special recognition. That is why we are thankful for each and every submission we received in last year's competition.
Even if your name does not appear in the list below, you have our thanks for your effort, and our encouragement to continue battling the white of the blank page.
We would also like to acknowledge the generous and selfless contributions of poet Joseph Millar, who served as our guest judge for this competition. His poetic clarity and thoughtful deliberation helped make a difficult task manageable, and ensured the best poems garnered the recognition they deserve. Joe, you have our thanks.
The Winners of Perigee's 2007 Poetry Contest:
1st Place: Karen Wallisky, for "Displacement"
2nd Place: Gayla Chaney, for "Stranded Motorist"
3rd Place: Shurooq Amin Ahmed, for "The Other Wife"
Honorable Mentions:
Shurooq Amin Ahmed, for "Mud Roses"
Mimi Moriarty, for "A Poet Who Cannot Support Himself Takes a Job Pouring Cement"
The winning poems will be published in our 5th Anniversary Issue, April 15th, 2008. We congratulate each of the winners, who can expect to be contacted by Perigee with details on collecting their winnings shortly.
With Thanks,
The Editors
