National Poetry Competition winners
Posted by Charlotte Geater on 31 March 2010 in
The Poetry Society has announced the winners of this year’s National Poetry Competition! Helen Dunmore’s ‘The Malarkey’ is the winner, with Ian Pindar and John Stammers in second and third place.
You can read the winners and find out more information about the competition here. I’m excited to see Jon Stone get a commendation for his poem ‘Jake Root’ (which you can find here) – it’s a great read! We’ve published Jon ourselves in the past (you can read ‘The Wind Outside’, from issue six, here) and want to congratulate him and all of the other winners and commended poets on their success.
The National Poetry competition runs every year, and the 2010 competition is open from today, the 1st of April, until the 31st of October. Remember the date!
