AND THE WINNER IS … REVEALED: “A Proper Poetry Book Full Collection”

Well, this was the first Full Collection Competition we have run in quite a while, and I’m pleased to say that 2025 will see a few more.

However today, it is all about the results and I am more than chuffed to be able to report that…

The Shortlisted Poets are, in no particular order:

      1. Gavin Bourke (Highly Commended)
      2. Anne Tilby
      3. Molly Smith (Commended)
      4. Sam Egelstaff
      5. Janice Warman
      6. Gareth Culshaw
      7. Mary Earnshaw
      8. Saphira Morgan
      9. Christopher House
      10. Russell E. Willis (Commended)
      11. Neil Windsor
      12. Karen Clark
      13. Kate Young
      14. Barbara Cumbers
      15. Mick Yates
      16. Sanjeev Sethi (Highly Commended)
      17. Roger Elkin
      18. Olivia Walwyn
      19. Alwyn Marriage
      20. James Alexander

However, there can only be one winner, and I am rather chuffed to say that it is the rather brilliant…

ALWYN MARRIAGE

for her collection,

“Travelling Light”

So many congratulations to Alwyn, and to all of those Shortlisted and Commended. Alwyn’s collection will be published during 2025.
