Congratulations to these extraordinary poets from across the country! This year, over 1,500 poems were submitted to VOICES/VOIX. The competition was fierce! We were blown away by the quality, passion, and beauty of the poems. The 16 selected candidates will be announced on March 19 and will join us for a four-day intensive poetry workshop, all expenses paid, in Quebec City, where they will work with renowned poets, artists, and publishers.
Click on each poet to read one of their poems, their biography, and their source of inspiration, then come back and click on “Vote” under the author of your favourite poem as part of the new FutureVerse People's Choice Award! The author of the poem with the most votes will win $500! Hurry—voting closes on March 18!
