Western New England University Congratulates Lindsay M. Ferreira for Earning the Dean's Prize for Creative Writing - Prize for Poetry

2017 Jun 6

The Department of English at Western New England University is pleased to congratulate Lindsay Ferreira for earning the Dean's Prize for Creative Writing - Prize for Poetry. This award honors the best Prose and Poetry pieces written for 200 level and above courses in the area of creative writing. The Prize for Poetry was awarded to Ferreira for the poem "992 lbs."

Judged by a panel of department faculty, the entries are evaluated in terms of analysis, argument, and written presentation.

"While covering a wide range of subjects and styles, the winning entries all match careful attention to detail and original insight." said Associate Professor of English Edward Wesp. "The winning submissions distinguished themselves from a strong field of entries not only by the quality of the writing, but also because each offered a compelling vision. The essays, story, and poem each leave their reader with a clearer view of the culture in which we live."

Congratulations Lindsay!
