THE 30th POETRY BUSINESS PAMPHLET COMPETITION
New work to be published in pamphlet following competition win.
‘This collection deserves a high place in the tradition of the poet as naturalist. Precise description rendered in physical language lifts these poems off the page and into the sensory ken of the reader. One poem, “The First Lighthouse” should be read in every classroom.’ – Billy Collins
