poetry & stuff
I’ve just discovered that my poem ‘Shell’ won the Open Age Poetry section of the 7th Annual Ipswich Poetry Feast this year! I’m blown away – thanks so much to the judges and the organizers!
To have a read go here and here where you can see the other winners – Vanessa Page, Brett Dionysius, Michael Crane & Nicholas Elderdige to name a few.
Congratulations! And for your fabulous poem in ‘Extempore’ too.
Congratulations, a beautiful poem, and looking at Vanessa’s poem ‘Between Barcaldine and Us’ the competition attracted some highly polished entries.
Hi Paul, great to see you here! And thank you – for extempore too, it’s a fantastic magazine, huh? I’m so glad Miriam started a jazz mag – I think I should plug it here too
Yes! Thank you, Mark! I’m very, very happy! And didn’t Vanessa’s have some superb images – and ‘the telephone…decoding your face’ was great!
Fantastic Ashley – congrats!
Congratulations, Ashley! I am so thrilled to have the opportunity to read your work here in the cyber world. It is a well deserved honor. “Shell” is excellent. It made me cry, but I mean that in a good way. I love it when a poem reaches into my life and connects. Absolutely beautiful. I enjoyed reading all of the work, too.
Thank you, Julie! So happy that it touched you! ‘Shell’ is actually part of the new collection, I feel bad that I cannot credit the award in my acknowledgements section (as it went to print a month ago or so)
How’s your collection coming along?
