Poetry for Performance

A hasty post so that you can all read Shirley Wright’s prize-winning poem in the Sunday Telegraph Poetry for Performance competition.  All the prize-winning poems were printed in yesterday’s paper (p.20!) where Shirley’s was highly praised by Ben Okri. All the short-listed poems can be read on the website.

Shirley’s winning entry, ‘My Father’ is here

Huge congratulations to Shirley whose great poem will be read out at a presentation tonight.

Thanks to Springsun for posting the fish photo on Flickr. Read all about it here.
