A New Westminster poet has earned international recognition for her work.
Janet Kvammen captured a fourth-place finish, earning an Award for Poetic Excellence, in the Rabindranath Tagore Award – International Poetry Contest 2018.
The award is open to English-language poets from around the world and recognizes those who “inspire others with their poems adorned with fine imagery and sensitivity,” according to the contest website.
Many New West folks will recognize Kvammen’s name, as she’s a familiar face in the local literary and arts scenes through her work with the Royal City Literary Arts Society, New West Artists and more.
