My poem, 'Kin', has won the 2011 Dor Kemmyn Poetry Competition. Dor Kemmyn is Cornish for Common Ground; it's also the name of a proposed inter-faith centre in Cornwall, 'to bring people together from different faiths and cultures to find common ground for the future well being of everyone'. I feel very honoured that my poem is connected with such an all-embracing and exciting vision.
And they said nice things about it here on Radio Cornwall (about 2 hours and 35 minutes in, but if you start a little before then, you'll also get to hear '(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher And Higher' by the incomparable Jackie Wilson. Score!)
NB. My poetry collection, Communion, is being published by Indigo Dreams at the end of June. This poem is in it.
