Malahat Review Long Poem Prize 2007

My poem "The Bone Yard" has won the 2007 Malahat Review Long Poem Prize. It’s the tale of my dog Winston, as Winston Churchill, and sets a world of love against chilling contemporary echoes of the Second World War. Winston also has a starring role in Winging Home: A Palette of Birds, so he’s becoming quite the literary dog!

Given that my "Abandon" won the previous prize, in 2005, I'm well, thrilled!
