Excellent news! Janet Loverseed’s poem ‘Portrait of Henrietta Moraes on a Blue Couch, 1965‘ has won the Grey Hen competition. The Judges’ comments are very interesting too — worth a look.
We’re in the middle of creating biographical pages for all the HappenStance poets, linked from the website. James Wood and Alison Brackenbury are there already, and mine. The rest will follow bit by bit as they come back from their holidays. How horrible it is writing biographical information. I hate it . . .
Meanwhile, Andy Philip is also a winner: his new baby Cerys Ilona, entered the world yesterday at 4.36 am when most of us were fast asleep. So Eilish has a wee sister. Congratulations to Andy and Jude!
