VIDEO: WINNERS OF THE OKLAHOMAN NEWSPAPER BLACKOUT POETRY CONTEST
Sunday, April 26th, 2009 | PermalinkTake a few minutes to watch this really fantastic video of the winners of the Oklahoman’s newspaper blackout poetry contest that I judged. They’re all fantastic, but when the winner, Rose Gorr, an 80-year-old grandmother of 33 (!) reads her poem it gives me chills! A round of applause to everybody: the poets, The Oklahoman, Tanner Herriott who shot the video, and especially Yvette Walker who co-ordinated the whole thing!
