Team #GriffinPoetryPrize: "Please. Please. Take us seriously 'Big Literary World'." So they took the road more traveled, winding far from the ordinary griefs of an imagined provincialism. A wrong turn? Perhaps. Was it broken before? Arguably, no. Still time to reexamine this new dispensation.

Thank you Claire and our wonderful friends at Type Books (QueenW) where you'll find 2025 Griffin Poetry Prize Longlisted DALE MARTIN SMITH "The Size of Paradise" on their poetry display table front of house. #TypeBooks #QueenW #npm25 #KFB #GriffinPoetryPrize
