writes:
I am very honoured that the judges deemed my poem "Though
Unworthy" worthy of 1st prize. This was not an easy poem
to write. It started out as a theological debate concerning saved
by grace versus the Catholic idea regarding the importance of
works. Many revisions later the piece became very didactic and
too preachy. It was revised further and briefly renamed "Bad
Men Who Love Jesus," but the poem lost focus part way through.
It was revised even further and sent to the contest after
a four year trek in the wilderness.
Though Unworthy
We regret than Lynn Tait's poem is unavailable at this time due to her interest in publishing it elsewhere.
