Sentinel Literary Quarterly 

Poetry Competition

Awarded second-place in the Sentinel Literary Quarterly Poetry Competition, 2019: "a mother's goodbye" (Judge: Terence Graham Perry Jones) 

​​

This is a lovely villanelle; skilful and sensitive in its handling of the tercets and the quatrain and the repeating lines and rhymes, and it is (in good part) this move to engage a demanding form in the service of a serious, richly geological and deeply human imagination that justifies the poems ranking in this competition. In five tercets and a concluding quatrain, operating within the tight constraints of the rhyme scheme, the poems nevertheless succeeds in opening into real historical and topographical space. 'a mother’s goodbye' achieves to a musical and evocative re-creation of a land, a landscape (the slieve bloom mountains), and – with impressive economy and eloquence – a way of life and a history. From the opening lines of the poem we are left in no doubt that the poet can imbue language with charm and charge. The whole imaginative engagement that is the poem is sustained and executed with balance and grace.

SaveAs Poetry 

Poetry Competition 

SaveAS Poetry, 2019: "the four moons of a harvest" (Judge: Gillian Laker of 2019 Canterbury Festival Poet of the year)

​

An extremely accomplished and original poem that mixes musical notation with the quartered moon. Controlled and expertly-structured, this work is shape-shifting and sonorous. The down-stroke of the bow. There is grief at the base of each quarter, but a grief that has such a rich and strong connection to the living, natural world, that it allows no turning away, even from the harshest of images. The final phrase is concerned with the solace of memory, a compendium of precious and brilliant fragments.
