Hunter Writers’ Centre November Writing Contest

My poem, “The Lost Sister”, part of a new book I’m working on about my great-grandmother, has won first prize in the Hunter Writers’ Centre November Writing Contest. The contest was an ekphrastic in which we were given a series of prompts – visual and verbal – to choose from. My prompt was Picasso’s “Reading at a Table”.  The poem can be read at the Hunter Writers’ Centre webpage here: https://hunterwriterscentre.org/november-writing-submissions/
