I was delighted to be one of the winning entries to the Troubadour Poetry Prize this year. I won a 2-year subscription to the Manhattan Review so I am looking forward to that. The poem I entered is a relatively new one, Man Talk. I have only recently changed the title and this was the first competition I entered with the new name. Before that, the poem has gotten nowhere. It’s interesting to see how the title of a poem can be so important. The poem is one of a series that I’m working on where I’m playing around with trying to understand the psyche of 21st century males. This is the first one that has been accepted for publication. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to make it to the ceremony due to work so I don’t feature in the photo above. Congratulations to the other prizewinners!
