We had a ball during the fall Festival with A Secret Poem. It was wonderful to see many of you seeking out clues and stickers at various Festival events. One of the many high points was hearing Charles Bernstein read “This Poem is in Finish,” the poem he wrote especially for this game, at his CHF program (at approx. minute 30).
While we saw many of you playing, only a handful of people submitted completed poems. Thanks to all that participated, at every level.
Winners are Linda and Steven Pedlow of Orland Park and Mary Jo Barton of Chicago. We’re delighted that we’ll be mailing them a letter-press copy of “This Poem is In Finish” designed and printed by our friends at Spudnik Press and a pair of tickets to one of our CHF Year-Round programs.
“My husband and I had fun solving the poem. I was happy to see the poem
as it was originally written. We were curious to see how many words we
got right.” --Linda Pedlow
We’re already busy thinking about how we can continue on this playful, interactive course with you, our audience, during our 2012 Festival.
