Poet-in-Residence is delighted to find the name of the Cheltenham poet, Michael Newman at the top of the recently released Pulsar Poetry Competition results. In a letter to Poet-in-Residence earlier this year Newman observed: "...it is difficult in this consumer age to write poetry that stands apart...".
Poet-in-Residence offers his sincere congratulations on a splendid achievement! The well-crafted and perceptive prize-winning poem certainly does stand apart!
