At a ceremony in Toronto Wednesday evening, C.D. Wright was named the winner of the 2009 Griffin Prize for International Poetry for her book of poems, Rising, Falling, Hovering. Wright had been a finalist once before in 2003 for her collection titled Steal Away. In the video above Wright reads a sample of her work—“Key Episodes from an Earthly Life,” included in that earlier volume—at the 2003 Griffin Prize festivities.
