I discovered this award and poem today and found it so inspiring, I posted it to two of my blogs. For those of you who follow this blog, William Carlos William was my paternal grandfather's cousin. Both were physicians.
Congratulations to Ms. Wlodarski.....here's a bit from the press release found on the University of Vermont website.
Jennifer Wlodarski has received an Honorable Mention in the 27th annual William Carlos Williams Poetry Competition for her poem "Slow Horse". Open to medical students attending schools of medicine or osteopathy in the United States and Canada, the competition is named in memory of William Carlos Williams, a physician-poet born in 1883 who practiced medicine in his hometown of Rutherford, N.J., while writing and publishing poetry with peers including Ezra Pound.
Slow Horse
Come back and outlast,
Like the slow horse.
All bets are in.
And I've got all my money on myself,
Because someone should.
