The jury for the 2022 award were Bertrand Bickersteth (Calgary), Peter Norman (Etobicoke), and Isabella Wang (New Westminster).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2022 Winner<\/p>\n\n\n\n Masses on Radar <\/em>exhibits a stunning mastery of poetic craft. O\u2019Meara has the talent and technique to turn almost anything into riveting poetry, but these poems do not coast: they dig deep, bringing to vivid life a remarkable array of subjects, experiences, emotions, and interior worlds. These poems summon quotidian encounters, sometimes conferring them with unexpected beauty, sometimes breathing new and sudden problems into them. O\u2019Meara\u2019s sparse language lifts the veil on our human failings, the limits of our vision, and in so doing satisfies<\/em>. [2022 Judges]<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
