COMPETITION NEWS: “Slim Volume of One’s Own – HUIT” – LONGLIST ANNOUNCED

Well, I’m not sure that this has ever happened to me before, but after apologising for being a week or so late with the White Label Competition Results, I find myself in the strange position of being many lots of weeks early with those of the Slim Volume.

I know, for one so hopeless, it is a little bizarre.

But getting to the point, I am pleased to say that we have a quite stunning Longlist for this Competition, and I could quite literally have happily published all of them, but back in the real world, sadly that isn’t possible, but there we are.

So the Longlisted Poets, are, in no particular order:

      1. Alice Stainer
      2. Gareth Drake
      3. Ger Duffy
      4. Miriam Otto
      5. Richard Smith
      6. Philippa Ramsden
      7. Zoë Green
      8. Sven Kretzschmar
      9. Jules Whiting
      10. Paul Brookes
      11. Margaret Royall
      12. Chris Campbell
      13. James Dowthwaite
      14. Rhiannon Lewis
      15. Louise Longson
      16. Jenna Plewes
      17. Edward Alport
      18. Ceinwen E Cariad Haydon
      19. Joanne Cornwell
      20. Kate Young

The Winner and Shortlisted poets will be revealed on Wednesday 29th of November.

As ever, thanks so much to everybody who entered this. This was stunning. End of.
