Our own Mark Creaven wins the Vermont Writers' Prize

Vermont Magazine has named Mark the 2020 winner of the Vermont Writers' Prize.  The poem appears in the summer issue of the magazine.  Though we cannot place the full text of the poem here, not yet, we can see some of it:


It stood solid
In the middle of a disused field
On Route 100.
Its slate grey cedar slats and shakes
Weathered from the years
Of storm and heat.

                                                    from "Time in Vermont," by Mark Creaven


We continue to be proud of our Northeast Kingdom Wednesday Poets member, of course.

  1. Congrats Mark! Look forward to seeing those "slats and shakes" when we're able to and being taken back to that shelter in the field.
