Well, I have to say that I love the design of our wee Pocket Hedgehogs, and judging our final competition has been bittersweettricky.
Luckily, I got therein the end and I am proud to share that the Shortlisted Poets, are:
-
- Will Kemp (Highly Commended)
- Calissa Palmer
- Gavin Bourke
- Benjamin Oldcorn
- Lisa Lopresti
- Katy Cossham (Commended)
- Sharron Green
- Gary Day
- Miriam Moore
- Catherine Long (Commended)
But this time there can only be one winner and I am proud to say that it is the rather brilliant
Lisa Lopresti
for her wee collection
“birdsong stitches lines in barley fields”
Many thanks to everybody that joined in, and congratulations to Lisa and the rest of the shortlisted poets.
