MSt tutor James Womack has been shortlisted for Ledbury Forte Poetry Prize for his collection On Trust: A Book of Lies<\/a><\/em> . From the announcement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Judged this year by Lachlan Mackinnon and Linda Gregerson, the biannual prize is the first of its kind and aims to support and encourage \u2018mid-career\u2019 poets, with a \u00a35,000 prize for the winner. The vibrant, diverse collections offer a reminder that in turbulent political times poetry \u2013 particularly those published by independent and small presses \u2013 continues to thrive and flourish.<\/em>

The prize recognises that a poet\u2019s second collection can be \u201cdangerous, risk-taking liberating and wildly ambitious\u201d according to Tom Chivers, Editor at Penned in the Margins, who says \u201cI welcome a new prize for second collections, to shine a spotlight on work that might otherwise fall down the gap between the excitement of the new and the confidence of the established.\u201dThe shortlisted poets will be invited to read at a Prize Giving event on Friday 5 July 2019 at Ledbury Poetry Festival when the judges will announce the winner. “<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
