Our judge, Anne Holloway, has let us know which poets are on the long list so we’ve decided to share the joy. The following are in alphabetical order, so don’t read anything into who is top! The short listed poets will be invited to our results evening (probably via some fancy web-sharing shenanigans) on 1st May where the top three will be announced.
- Aman Gill
- Andrew George
- Ann Gibson
- Another Poet
- Brendan McAndrew
- Catherine Kay
- Dave Wynn-Jones
- David Smith
- David Walrond
- Diane Jackman
- Doreen Hinchcliffe
- Doug Nicholls
- Helen Kay
- J Burke
- Lindsay Rossdale
- Nancy Graham
- Owen Gallagher
- Philip Burton
- Ron Harper
Congratulations to all of you, and thanks to all entrants. The standard was, as ever, incredibly high so those who managed to get long-listed very much deserve some praise.
