The marvelous Molly Peacock writes to encourage us to spread the word about the Troubador poetry competition, now accepting entries. Of the contest, Molly says: This is a marvelous contest, full of prestige, and they love poets from the US and Canada to consider. Even if a person doesn't win, there's a memory there of the good poems they have read, and that's always nice for things to come.
This year's contest will be judged by Susan Wicks & David Harsent (with both judges reading all poems)
Prizes: 1st £2,500, 2nd £500, 3rd £250 & 20 prizes of £20 each
