Here's another competition I didn't win. I didn't even get a poem in the anthology. F'nah. Congratulations Maggie and also Nuala in the anthology. There are four winning submissions this year. The work of thirty nine poets is published in the 2008 anthology Buzz. Lots of them will be reading at the Derwent Poetry Festival, October 17th to 19th. The judge this year was Jane Weir.

I had assumed this competition was for poets without a first collection. Silly me.
