Poetry Prizes

Here's a link to the finalists at the Manchester Poetry Prize.  The winner will be announced on October 19th, but Antiphon and I were wondering what you thought of the finalists' work, and whether you had any thoughts on who should win, in your opinion.

Perhaps you have thoughts more broadly on poetry competitions in general?  The prize at Manchester asks for a selection of poems for the judges to consider, rather than everything hanging on a single poem, and the judging panel consists of three poets, this year: Ian Duhig, Frances Leviston and Adam O'Riordan.

The finalists' work is available via the link above.  Let us know what you think.
