Poetry Wales is delighted to be able to finally reveal the results of the 2011 Purple Moose Poetry Prize.
As always, it’s been a challenge for our judges, Zoe Skoulding and (judging the prize for the first time) John Barnie, but they have decided on a winner.
And the Winner is: Archimedes’ Principle by Rebecca Perry. Congratulations Rebecca!
In a slight break from the conventions of the last two competitions, the judges felt that, in addition to listing 3 or 4 highly commended entries, another collection warranted the recognition of being Runner-up: Facing Facts by Tim Love. Well done Tim.
Finally, the four Highly Commended collections are, in no particular order:
Personal Effect by Kate White
Capability Procedures by Ian McEwen
Yod by Cliff Forshaw
Braised Yello by Peter Gruffydd.
Well done to everyone who entered, and made this such an interesting competition. Keep writing, and keep reading Poetry Wales!
Competition details
Entries must comprise 20-24 original poems.

Thanks to Peter Finch for his kind words about PW in his column ‘The Insider’, in the Western Mail, October 9 2010.
“It is in the new Poetry Wales, however, that revolution is really apparent. In the 1970s, when the late Eric Mottram held the helm of London’s Poetry Review, the English-speaking literary world was split into two mutually opposed factions – the traditionalists and the innovators.
