In a little cafe in Toronto with Megan, a couple hoursaway from the Bronwen Wallace award ceremony drinking some green tea to try and calm my nerves a little. It’s all bright and blustery in the city. I’vewanted to post a bit more often, but I’m not really much of a travel blogger, I think. Meeting the other finalists yesterday evening was totally awesome, they are such genuine and thoughtful people, I’m honoured to be in their company. Also the Writer’s Trust folks have been wonderfully gracious and supportive. Its still all a little unbelievable. I don’t know. I’m going to look over the poem I have to read now and I’ll try and write again tomorrow in the nextfew days with a clearer mind.
It’ll go well – don’t stress.
And good luck with the award!
I’m super proud of you Raoul. i’ll be keeping an eye on the news feeds and waiting patiently for another post/update. i’d say, ‘good luck’, but you’re well beyond needing any.
