The Rosemary McLeish Poetry Prize winners and full longlist of writers was announced on Friday 6 November at an event to celebrate Rosemary's life at Medway River Lit at Sun Pier House in Chatham. 

​

The prize which is awarded every two years, takes an ecological theme. This year it was won by Zelda Cahill-Patten for her poem Scare.
