TLS Poetry Competition 2008
Shortlisted poems: a poll of readers to decide the outcome
From more than 3,000 poems entered for this year’s competition, the judges –
Mick Imlah, the Poetry editor of the TLS, and Alice Quinn, Executive Director of
the Poetry Society of America and formerly Poetry editor of the New Yorker –
have chosen a shortlist of twelve pieces, printed in random sequence below, from
which readers are invited to select the winning poems. Those wishing to take
part in the judging process should vote by December 5.
Readers may vote for their favourite poem, identifying it by the letter affixed
to its title; they may also offer a second choice, which will gain half marks in
the adjudication. They may not vote more than once. The results of the poll will
be published in the issue of December 19 & 26. The most popular poem will win
£2,000; runners-up will receive a total of £1,500.
