Thank you so much to everyone who entered The London Magazine‘s Poetry Prize 2017. The standard of entries was extremely high but our judges, Patricia McCarthy and Frieda Hughes, have made their choices and we are delighted to announce the winners:

First place: ‘Old mother moor’ by Sarah Westcott

Second place: ‘Aroi’ by Roisin Kelly

Third place: ‘Panic’ by Michael Henry

Each of these poems will be published in the December/January Issue of The London Magazine as well as online. The winners will be awarded their prizes at a ceremony held at the Collyer Bristow gallery in London later this month.
