And the Shortlisted Poets are, in no particular order:
-

- Miriam Otto
- Benjamin Oldcorn
- Hannah Ray
- He Jiang (Commended)
- Val Harris
- Nicola Stephenson
- Lydia Bennett
- Liz Kendall (Highly Commended)

However, there can only be one winner, and I am please to say it is the rather wonderful:

So many congratulations to our winner, and to all of those Shortlisted and Commended.
