Book awards gala pits Dave vs. Dave

Two students from St. John's Ravenscourt are among the finalists in a national poetry recitation competition founded by Scott Griffin, patron of the Griffin Prize for poetry.

Poetry in Voice was established to encourage young Canadians "to develop a personal relationship with poetry by learning their favourite poems by heart." The project provides an anthology of English and French-language poems, plus teaching materials, and encourages schools to hold their own competitions. Semi-finals are held online and this year were judged by 22 poets from across Canada, including Winnipeg's Ariel Gordon.
