This week we would like to share achievements of four exceptional poets, our colleagues and students at Newcastle University and Poetry School London:

• Vanessa Lampert, Mary Mullholland and Lydia Kennaway, all three talented poets and students at Newcastle University (MA in Writing Poetry and Poetry School London) were shortlisted for the 2018 Bridport Prize. For Mary Mullholland it is the sixth time her work has been shortlisted, while Vanessa Lampert won a prize: her poem Curations was Highly Commended, and two others were also shortlisted.
• Natalie Crick has been shortlisted for the Anthony Cronin International Poetry Award as a part of Wexford Literary Festival in Ireland.

Congratulations to all!
