Cape senior wins poetry contest

Cape Elizabeth High School senior Jane Vaughan was awarded first prize by poet Richard Blanco at the seventh annual Merriconeag Poetry Festival on May 4. Vaughan won for her original poem “The Tall Figures of Giacometti.” Blanco, a Bethel resident who achieved national renown when he read his poem “One Today” at President Obama’s second inauguration, selected 20 student finalists during the festival’s contest portion. Those students were invited to read their original works at the festival and received gift certificates from local bookstores.
