Thousands of entries from across the country flooded the 2007 CBC Literary Awards. After an exacting judging process there were six lucky winners in the English language categories. A total of thirty thousand dollars was split between the first and second place English language winners. Their work will be published in En Route Magazine and you can hear those entries right here in this week's podcast.

Wanted to thank actor Adrienne Wong who read the story White. She did a marvelous job and sounded (eerily) like the voice in my head while I was writing it. Very cool. My thanks!

A House?
a house, not a home,
not just alone,
grown in psychosematic lonesome,
a home with no fence,
no arms to protect,
feeble at the best of attempts,
A house with no time,
no yesterday or tommorrow to claim,
An untended garden to run through.
A closet with no clothes,
only masks and hand soap.
A frame for a house,
no room for a home.
