Kate Young was one of two winners of Hedgehog Poetry Press’ Stickleback Competition and will see her micro collection published in the coming year.

She was also commended for her entry in Hedgehog Poetry’s prestigious A Slim Volume of One’s Own Competition and with fellow OU poets, Julie Anne Gilligan and Kimberley Pulling, was shortlisted in its January Challenge, ‘When the Blue Bell Tolls’.

That’s some start to the year!

Well done to all of them!
