Judges’ comments A strong, contemporary cover design with extras, such as gatefolds, extending out of the book. This compilation of three different poets reflects how writing poetry involves testing and playing with multiple forms and subjects. One poem fills a passenger arrival card, another completes a timesheet. There are white-out poems and black-out poems, shopping lists, post-its and graphs.
