We don’t often do it, but sometimes it’s great to toot your own horn. That being said, we are very proud to announce that last night at Canada’s Magazine Awards, Descant and R. Johnson received the Gold Prize for Poetry for Johnson’s piece quietus. You can find this, as well as two of his other poems Islander and Land scape in DESCANT 133: Bibliomania, back orders of which are still available for purchase.

So from all of us here at Descant, a big congrats to R. Johnson for winning the $1000 grand prize!
