Waterford Poetry Prize 2022 Winners Announcement!


I remember sending a email on this asking if they could make the entry process a little more user friendly but the end result deserves congratulations. Judged by Colm Keegan you need your 'A Game' here. The third prize reminds me of an encounter in the television series 'Yellowstone' where John Dutton asks the environmentalist or animal rights campaigner if she has ever seen a ploughed field or do her principles only extend as far as how pretty the thing is she kills. Maybe not the exact words but a thought to muse on, the awful cruelty of it all though is hard to take and makes you wonder but don't ask me. Great poems.

Loaded by the Imagine Arts Festival Waterford and with thanks.
