Well, what can I say apart from that I am both proud and yet chuffed to be able to announce the Shortlisted Poets for our Final ‘A Slim Volume’ pamphlet competition, and perhaps more to the point, the Winners who will see their collection published by Hedgehog during 2024.
The Shortlisted poets, are:
-
-
- Alice Stainer (Highly Commended)
- Gareth Drake
- Zoë Green
- Sven Kretzschmar
- Jules Whiting
- Paul Brookes (Highly Commended)
- James Dowthwaite
- Rhiannon Lewis
- Louise Longson (Commended)
- Jenna Plewes
-
As seems to be the way of things with this competition, I am afraid that I simply couldn’t choose between Two of the Collections and so I am happy to say that we have Two Winners, who will both have their collections published in 2024:
Zoë Green
for
“Shadow Child”
and
Jules Whiting
for
“For Those of Us Who Remember Our Beginnings”
As ever, thanks so much to everybody who entered – I really need a nap.
