Artist Embassy International

‘Artist Embassy International’

Dear Friends,

I am happy to announce that the Artist Embassy International Poetry Competition has awarded my poem, “The Dusty Wallpaper”, Third Place in the 20th Annual Awards. The prize is cash and an invitation to read the winning poem at the awards event in September at the Florence Gould Theater, San Francisco.

My gratitude goes to AEI Chairwoman Judy Cheung, and the talented judges of the AEI competition for selecting my poem.

“The Dusty Wallpaper” is from my Fourth Book-Length manuscript.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
