People should pop along to Rob's blog and commiserate with him about the vagaries of judgement that prevented him from winning the latest National Poetry Competition. I for one can't see any particular reason why the three placed poems were deemed to outrank Rob's commended entry.
Maybe that's why I'm a scruffy sideline critic rather than a respectable judge of artistry.
