On 30 June 2006 at Perdu’s big closing party, a smashing 2005/06 poetry season comes to an end. During the evening the Perdu Poetry Awards 2006 are presented as well. Several poetry prizes are awarded, for instance, for the ‘best blank line’ and ‘best literary network’. Rozalie Hirs receives the poetry prize for the ‘best line of poetry’ for the opening sentence of her poetry collection [Speling] (English: [Leeway]; Amsterdam: Uitgeverij Querido, 2005).
