New date for Guyana Prize submissions is unfair

Dear Editor,

I read where Mr Johnson said in his letter to SN that he was grateful that the Committee for the Guyana Prize for literature had taken his advice and extended the closing date for entries. According to Mr Creighton the unrest at UG was the reason for the change of date. We know that both of these men are looking for points and we don’t care. My group’s question is this: Now that several of them have busted their backs to meet the February deadline, could they reclaim their entries from the university, so that they can re-tweak or re-write. These writers see this new date as very unfair. We trust that Mr Creighton will read this letter and give us an answer.

 Yours faithfully,

Milton Bruce
