Griffin Prize for Poetry announced tonight

[KTC]

A sold out crowd of 800 are in Toronto tonight for the unveiling of the Griffin Prize for Poetry announcement. My hands on fav. is Jeramy Dodds. Dodds was a guest speaker at last month's WCDR breakfast meeting. He read several poems during the morning meeting. Great poet. ( I posted a link to his questionnaire in the WCDR breakfast meeting thread in the roundtable...but thought it might be missed by the poets.)

I just read some poems by AF Monitz, he has some good stuff out there. Quite impressive -
