NAWW Member Wins 2006 CNW/FFWR Writing Contest
NAWW Member, Barbara Florio Graham was the only Canadian winner in the 2006 CNW/FFWR writing contest. Entries in this contest come from all over the world, and judging is rigorous. There were only four categories in this 24th annual contest, so the Poetry Division was open to both traditional poems and free verse of any length.
Bobbi’s poem, just seven lines long, received the First Honorable Mention. Judge Mary H. Sayder called it “exquisite in its simplicity. Everything works beautifully…” and her additional comments on the website say: “Brevity and amazing simplicity elevate these highly visual lines into a highly memorable poem.” The list of winners and comments are at www.writers-editors.com.
