Zehner, White take top two spots in GAC creative writing contest
In a highly-competitive contest that featured multiple quality entries, Damaris Zehner and Sue White took the top two spots in the inaugural Greencastle Arts Council creative writing contest. Zehner’s poem “This Fallen World” was awarded first place, while White’s “How It Is” was a close second. In fact, the top four entries were separated by just one point each. Announced late last year, the GAC creative writing contest welcomed submission from adults throughout the county. The submissions were judged by Jared Jernagan, editor of the Banner Graphic; author and educator Beth Benedix, founder and director of The Castle; poet Abby Chew of Claremont, Calif., a graduate of South Putnam High School and member of DePauw University class of 2002; Matt McClelland, director of the Putnam County Public Library; and writer Donovan Wheeler, senior English teacher at Greencastle High School and content contributor to Indiana on Tap and National Road Magazine.
GAC invited submissions of a short story, scene from a play, poem or song, exceeding 1,000 words, with the top prize being published in the Banner Graphic. Given the closenss of the competition, both are published. “This (poem) describes an experience I had when I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Liberia,” Zehner said of “This Fallen World.” “I composed this almost completely in my head as I drove 10-plus hours back from Virginia after going there to collect the necessary documents for whatever happened next to my mom,” White said. “I had to stop at a rest area to write it all down so I didn’t lose any of it. It was weird driving that far and not even getting to see Mom.”
