Does everyone know that we have our very own "Ol' Blue Eyes'?

As well as being 'the nicest guy you can imagine', as Janice says, Frank has the bluest eyes I've ever seen!

Congratulations (and adoration from the two of us, at least! )

It's marvellous news! And well done to all the finalists too.

Jayne

Congratulations to Frank and the finalists, and to the honorables among whom I am thrilled to appear!

And much gratitude to Alex for all he does for poetry and poets.

Best,
Jean

P.S. After clicking on "Read More" at the official announcement site, and reading the sample poems, I'm editing in to offer more specific praise. "Pacific Drift," in particular, is just a magnificent poem, and makes me eager to read more.

Congratulations to all those mentioned.

And special congratulations to Frank for his hat-trick (this one, together with wins in both the New Statesman and the Spectator).
