Following the announcement of the Griffin Poetry Prize 2005 Awards, the Canadian and International winners – Roo Borson and Charles Simic – joined a Griffin team, including Carolyn Forché, Scott Griffin, Robin Robertson, David Young, Leslie Greentree, David Kirby and Gerald Stern to head to Ireland to participate in readings and celebrations for the 2005 Dublin Writers Festival on June 16th and 17th, 2005. The trip to Dublin was yet another part of the vision Scott Griffin sees for bringing the Griffin Poetry Prize and prize winners to an increasingly international audience.
