The five winners of the seventh Bread and Roses Poetry Award are: Linda Burnett, Amy Fox, Bernadette Gallagher, John F. Keane, and Nicholas McGaughey. £100 will wing its wandering way to their worthy workers’ wallets, and we’ll publish an anthology online, soon. We’ll also produce a printed version, by the end of November.
The anthology will include the winning poems plus poems by Neil Clarkson, Josa Keys, Ella Fradgley, Atar J. Hadari, Jane Campbell, Jade Welburn, Jimmy Andrex, Jane Smith, Susan Young, Sim Smailes, Nick Moss, Theeda Winter, Angela Topping, Cameron Evans, Matt Duggan, Steven Taylor, Tara Singh, Sue Moules, Wendy Young, James Lawton, Abu Leila, Tracey Pearson, Curtis Brown, James O’Brien, Melissa Parker, Colette Coen, Seth Connor-Fullwood, Denni Turp, Kevin Searle, and Alan Briggs
We’ll send copies to everyone included in the anthology, and it’ll be on sale in bookshops and in our Books section. Thanks to all who entered this year, and best wishes to all aspiring writers.
