The poems submitted should be ‘broadly religious,’ that is, ‘spiritual’ in nature and, like all good religious poetry, should appeal to those who would not necessarily describe themselves as such. ‘Religious’ thus includes poems that are Christian, as well as those from within other faith traditions. Those struggling to discover their own sense of the sacred are also invited to submit entries. Poems are welcome in any style or form and will be judged solely on their merits as poetry.
Our JUDGE for our 2008 competition is Linda Chase, an American living
in Manchester. Linda established the Poetry School Manchester in 2004.
The school continues to thrive, offering courses and workshops for
poets in the region. Linda is also a part time lecturer in the Writing
School at the Manchester Metropolitan University, teaching on the
Poetry MA. She also founded and directs a collaborative reading series
called Poets and Players which features poets (both established and
new) reading with musicians, actors, dancers and occasionally working
with artists. Her second and third collections were published by
Carcanet The Wedding Spy, 2001 and Extended Family, 2006.
