2009 Poetry Contest Winners
Perigee is pleased to announce the winners of our most popular and competitive poetry contest to date. Our Poetry Editor, Steve Kowit, and guest judge Suzanne Lummis had a tough task indeed. This year's submissions were exceptionally strong, and deciding on three winners and three honorable mentions took a great deal of consideration.
First Place ($300): "The Seed Jar," by Corrie Williamson
Second Place ($200): "Sweet Molasses," by Ginny Lowe Conners
Third Place ($100): "Yosemite," by Peter Bolland
Honorable Mentions: "The Last Battle of the Civil War," by Peter Bolland; "Crossroads," by Cameron Keller Scott.
The winning poems and honorable mentions will be published in our upcoming, 26th issue—due out October 15th—which will include an impressive number of poems culled from general submissions, contest entries, and poets the world over. We will also be presenting poems from our guest judge Suzanne Lummis, whose insight and passion proved integral to the success of this contest.
