We are pleased to announce that the winner of the Whitmore Press Manuscript Prize 2012 is Lucy Todd.

Lucy’s disturbingly visceral, delicate poems create a wonderfully strange archive that we believe will make for a compelling collection – one that will appear from Whitmore Press in the first half of 2013.

The ten shortlisted poets for the prize, in alphabetical order, were:

Steve Evans
Fiona Hile
James Hodson
Andy Jackson
Carmen Leigh Keates
Laura Jean McKay
Eddie Paterson
Lucy Todd
Ruby Todd
Ann Vickery

Our thanks to all who entered – many other fine submissions will, we are sure, find their way into print, or pixel, in the near future.
