Reading makes immigrants of us all. It takes us away from home, but more important, it finds homes for us everywhere.

The poems received brilliantly and creatively brought out the theme of the award, Memories of Home.

Congratulations to all winners!

As far as I can tell, there are two kinds of poets: those who want to tell stories and sing songs, and those who want to work out the chemical equation for language and pass on their experiments as poetry.

Happy Birthday Simon Armitage 🖤
