Sandeep Kumar Mishra is shortlisted for International Plough

Now in its 21 year, the Plough Poetry Prize is an international open competition for poems held in UK. The results are in! Indian poet Sandeep Kumar Mishra's political poem "Immigration' is highly commended for this prestigious prize. Other shortlisted poets include "Don't tell Dad" by Trystan Lewis, "Gliding' by Mary-Jane Homes, "My mother tongue is a lonesome bastard" by Dragana Lazici.

The chief judge Roger McGough commented, 'So many good poems, so many difficult choices, and so inevitably, choosing a winner proved as difficult as ever, and I do hope that all the poets take away a sense of achievement. My favourite poems were as different in style as a judge could hope for. From taking to the air disguised as a vulture, to a tainted mother tongue, and to paternal love, undiminished to the end. Each poem was confident in the story it had to tell and told succinctly. The winning poems spoke directly to me and had both clarity and rhythm. Congratulations to the winners and to everyone who submitted a poem and thanks to all at the Plough Arts Centre who work tirelessly to promote poetry'.
