The Griffin Poetry Prize winners were announced tonight at, what I hear, was a very swanky do in Toronto. As I mentioned before, the prize money went way up this year, which means the winners did better than ever and all the nominated poets came away with something (besides, of course, the honour of being short-listed).Without further ado, the winners:
