See Wright's comment...I think poets have hit a new low. Now we're being  
compared to cockroaches.

The 65-year-old poet, a three-time nominee for the Griffin, called his  
victory a "deeply moving experience" and spoke to a recurring theme of the  night: 
whether Canadian poetry is being marginalized.
 
"I don’t think that poetry is in any danger, that it runs deep and will  
always be there. It will survive, with cockroaches, beyond us," he said,  
eliciting a big laugh from the crowd.
