THE Max Porter @maxjohnporter has chosen me as winner of @themothmagazine Nature Writing Prize ! 'Deeply funny and very sad at the same time' is EXACTLY what I aim for. I'm flying like a fulmar 😀🪶 https://t.co/35XKQOvvHb
Porter also commended work by the award-winning author Susannah Dickey, who was longlisted for the Sunday Times Short Story Award last year; Leah Naomi Green, Lance Larsen, and Sammy Weaver, former winner of the prize.
The ironic and the tender are perfectly fused, and formal innovations are cleverly tethered to meaning. Both the birds and the language were thrillingly – and in unexpected ways – alive in this piece.'
We're thrilled to share that...
