This month’s Challenge is  only the Second time that we will be using our funky wee Little Black Book format for an anthology, and it seemed perfect for the purposes of this Challenge.

August will see the publication of our seventh Little Black Book, ‘A Little Black Book of Summer Poems’ – catchy, eh? –  and it would be great to include poems from Cult Members.

So if you are up for the challenge, what I would like for you to do is write a poem that talks about SUMMER in some sense

To be clear:

    1. Write a Poem that focuses upon SUMMER
    2. There are no limits to form, style or length
    3. The Best of the Submissions will be published in a lovely Little Black Book in August 2024

Rules:

    1. There are no length constraints
    2. You must be a Cult Member to submit your poem – sending it to competition@hedgehogpress.co.uk
    3. Send the poem by 11.59pm on the 31st of May 2024
