My lord, I bring good news...

Greatly chuffed that Rosie Shepperd, who gave me an interview and some poems for the blog here, is a winner in the Poetry Business competition and has a pamphlet out with Salt next year. Rosie is a really exciting, different, individual poet. I said in the interview that if I had to choose one word to describe her poems, it would be the 19th-century slang coinage "slantendicular", meaning not just askew but somehow subversively askew. Massively looking forward to that pamphlet.
