WRRPoetry hereby calls for entries into the maiden edition of the Albert Jungers Poetry Prize, AJPP2014.

The Albert Jungers Prize is in honour of late Fr. Albert Jungers who died on May 27, 2013 of a heart attack. Until his death, Fr. Al was a dear father to all of us in the WRRPoetry family and an extra brilliant poet who brought different forms to life for us.

He was very patient and very much accessible so much more than a few members have had their writing life, if not all their lives, affected by this great man.

We are proud and honored to have had him among us, when we had him. He would be proud of us, seeing how much we have grown.

WE MISS YOU FR. AL
Like always I’m awake at this 3rd hour
wondering why Mr. Death has so much power
it took from us our dear Father Jungers
for whose words our communal soul hungers
…
I have tears in my eyes
As I look into the silent skies
Maybe Fr. Al is there, smiling down
And wondering why I have a teary frown
…
Oh! We miss our Fr. Al
So, honour him, we shall
He was the teacher and friend
Who did our tattered skills mend

“There was a day I asked him some theological questions. He took me on a pleasant journey through the bible. Those were the words that make me miss him the most.
