I am humbled to announce to you all: https://www.facebook.com/notes/rabindranath-tagore-award/peace-treaty-rabindranath-tagore-award-winning-poem-2019-contest/2101919813207419/
My voice, my sorrow /hope filled heart and my presence at this critical time in our tumultuous world is the driving force behind the poetry I write.
To see one of the voices of a humble poet calling for peace and an end to the senseless violence in our land, get lifted up and appreciated, gives me joy to know that we are on the right track and heading towards a better future for the sake of children of today and generations that will follow.
I am utterly humbled to the point of falling to my knees to read the reviews the judges remarked on my poem.
Thank you from the botton of my heart 🕊
This poem is in my latest poetry collection (Dreamers Needed) self-published through McNally Robinson Book Publisher in Winnipeg 💐 They are sold in New Westminster & Maple Ridge.
I got the news the moment our flight arrived in Toronto early yesterday morning. This is such an honour and to read the judges remarks fills my eyes with tears.
I too actually was seriously thinking of sending THIS poem to leaders of the world. To read one of the judges suggesting this, convinces me to actually do it and I will.
this is the email I got from the Poetry Contest:
