I'm chuffed to report that my poem Villalejo has won the National Library of Scotland's "From Home to Beyond" poetry competition.
Villalejo will consequently form part of the Library's summer treasures display, "Voices from the Commonwealth", until the end of August. Now that's a lovely prize!
DISPLACED They called her aloof, impractical, clumsy, plain. It was, they
say, difficult for her not to fall in love.In spite, that is, of the first
coughs...
Congrats. Slow down and give the rest of us chance!
ReplyDeleteI hope to be in Edinburgh in August, so I'll pop in and have a look.
Thanks, Tim! Hope you make it and meet up with Nell!
DeleteNicely done, Matthew. Hearty congrats!
ReplyDeleteAnd you're not doing too badly yourself...!
DeleteI must go and see it too. I MUST get there. Tim -- if you're in Edinburgh, drop me a line.
ReplyDeleteWish I could make it too.
