A Hog Blogs: LONGLIST ANNOUNCED: “Little Black Book 02” – A Poetry Pamphlet Competition

Well, given how many of the wee things we seem to have flying around the place – and aren’t they just heavenly? – I find it hard to believe that this is only our Second Little Black Book Competition, but just like the first, it really did capture the imagination poetica.

But these things need judging and after a plenitude of agony, I am happy to be able to unveil the Twenty-Five poets on the Longlist, are in no particularly useful or indicative order:

      1. Aila Schafer
      2. Barbara Cumbers
      3. Beth Brooke
      4. Daphne Milne
      5. Greta Ross
      6. Harriet Brown
      7. Jane & Louise Lovell
      8. Jennifer Schneider
      9. John Lindley
      10. Karen Francis
      11. Karen Pierce Gonzalez
      12. Kate Copeland
      13. Kip Knott
      14. Liz Kendall
      15. Lyndsey Knight
      16. Mandy Willis
      17. Margaret Royall
      18. Mick Yates
      19. Miriam Calleja
      20. Oormila V Prahlad

      22. Roger Bloor
      23. Sandy Spencer

      25. Tina MacNaughton

Congratulations to all who made the Longlist, and many thanks to everybody else that took part and made my life so complicated and challenging.
