Morrissey runner up

Dear Steven:

Congratulations!

We had tons of entries and yours was truly one of the stars. You’re a runner up!

You’ve won:

- a copy of Teen Angst: A Collection of Really Bad Poetry, by Sara Bynoe

- a books from the Association of Book Publishers of BC

- a one year subscription to Geist

- publication and fame on The Tyee and Vancouver's Alternative Weekly Terminal City

Could you email me your address so I can send out the prizes? We’ll be publishing your poem on a Friday within the next month (I’ll let you know which one when we’ve decided the line up).

If you’re interested in having Sara Bynoe post it on www.teenangstpoetry.com, just send her an email at teenangstpoet@hotmail.com and she’ll take care of the rest.

Also, we might be interested in reading your famous poem (or getting you to read it if you’re in town) at the Word on the Street festival in September.

I’ll give you more info about that closer to the time. Now, here’s what we’re wondering: do you have a copy of the page where you wrote this? Could you scan it in and email it to us? Or do you have a doodle that goes with it? We’d love to include that rather than the “Teen Poetry Ad” graphic. If you’ve got something but no scanner, just let me know by email and I’ll arrange to get it from you (couriers may be beyond the Tyee budget but we’ll figure something out!)

Anyway, congrats again! And thanks for entering!
