Judge's
Comments
In general, the poems submitted this year showed a great deal
of effort, originality and daring. Those which came through the
first two selection did not conform to any single type or format:
there was a lively and welcome variety of verse. The best poems
this year, I thought, were less political and more personal, while
maintaining a comic outlook on matters social and individual.
A relaxed but confident sense of humour characterized the best
poems this year.
