The Leaf Books Short Poetry Competition 2006 invited entrants to submit poems up to sixteen lines in length on any topic imaginable. 525 poems were received on subjects as diverse as love, jazz, the internal monologue of a captive orang-utan and, in the first-prize winning ‘Tundra’, the plight of an obscurely-realised and unnamed refugee.
The competition was judged by prize-winning poet Sheenagh Pugh. This eminently readable anthology houses thirty-seven selected entries by both previously published and first-time poets.
