Fall 2007 Paul Rice Broadside Series Winner Announced
The Coastal Carolina English Department is pleased to announce the winner of the third Paul Rice Poetry Broadside Series. In a competition that was open to current Coastal Carolina students, our judge, poet Stuart Dischell of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, selected "Living in the Days of Noah" by Brandon Wolf as the winner out of more than 35 entries. Brandon will receive a $100.00 gift certificate to the Coastal Carolina bookstore and 25 copies of the broadside, which will be produced by the end of the semester in an edition of 100 numbered copies. Please join us in congratulating Brandon on his winning poem.
Dischell also awarded honorable mention to Sandra Broughton Causey’s "Nova" and Nicole Stephens’s "I Speak."
The "Living in the Days of Noah" broadside will be available in the next few weeks. Those wishing to acquire a copy should contact Dan Albergotti in the Department of English (albergot@coastal.edu, 843-349-2420).
The deadline for the fourth contest in the Paul Rice series will be announced early in the spring semester 2008.
We wish to thank everyone who participated in the third contest. Please consider entering a submission again next semester.
