We are so proud of you Vivien!  Vivien Jones has just won the Poetry London Competition 2010, judged by Michael Longley.

Vivien's poem, 'My Mother's Literature' took 1st prize, winning £1000 and publication in Poetry London's autumn issue.  (Buy one!)

Vivien is an increasingly well known poet and writer, and has her first poetry collection out this month, published by Indigo Dreams.  'About Time, Too' will be launched at the Midsteeple, Dumfries, and at Wigtown Book Festival.  Find out more at

I'm chasing Vivien to give me a copy of 'My Mother's Literature' so we can make it Poem of the Month in The Midsteeple - do drop in and read it.
