COMMENTS FROM JUDGE, BILLY COLLINS
“Father” by Peggy McCarthy (Waterford, Ireland)
This is a charming and haunting hinge poem, the balanced stanzas devoted to 2 photographs of a father. The poet’s craft and eye for detail act to ground a subject that could turn sentimental in less able hands. On first reading, I wrote “Lovely” in the margin next to the title. On second reading “That it is.”
“Some Pleasures” by Vanessa Lampert (Oxfordshire, UK)
A version of “My Favorite Things” (Coletrane’s is my favorite version of the song), this poem presents us with such an interesting and varied list, there’s no way we can foresee the shocking humor of the last lines. A sparkling exercise in imagination and restraint to a point.
“Wild and Alone” by Susan Musgrave (Haida Gwaii, B.C. Canada)
Only the clear-eyed can write soberly of a domestic argument, and here the poet resists theatrics for the ordinary details of the scene, except perhaps for the copy of Lowry flying into the flames. To learn from a mouse is the poem’s quirky but humble settlement.
“Shoegazers’ Companions” by Allen Tullos (Georgia, USA)
Beginning with “jiveboats” and ending on “Pagination Street,” this poem has a little of everything including a list and “alligator clouds bellying” along, but it’s all held together by its tone of sharp-edged humor.
“Edisto Island, May 2019” by Celeste McMaster (Charleston, S.C. USA)
Two English professors doing a jigsaw might sound dull, but not here with the sea shifting in the background and the 1,000 piece puzzle left unfinished. The professorial hand emerges to end the poem with a flood of similes.
“Dead Ant” by Michelle North-Coombs (Queensland, Australia)
A seriocomic meditation on an ant killed by a book. Literature and entomology collide.
“The Taking of Caravaggio” by Bill Richardson (Galway, Ireland)
A compelling defense of the usually indefensible Judas (the felix culpa is its precedent), convincing because of the poet’s reasoning and the precise observations on the physical details of the painting.
“My Glacial Erratic” by Leah C Stetson (Maine, USA)
A very imaginative and engaging poem in which a pursuit of a fictional Emily is caused by a concussion. A mother and a partner (I think) find room here, adding human reality to the literary.”
“On Reading Ecclesiastes 5 at St. Patrick’s Church of Ireland Cathedral” by Angela Long (Haida Guaii, B.C. Canada)
A meditation, as the title tells us, on the weight of the church measured in granite, until the poem slips into an elegy for a mother, who ends the poem beautifully almost hypnotically with her endless peeling.
“The Mothers and My Mother Tongue” by Geoff Burnes (Hampshire, UK)
A rap poem I wish I could hear maybe in a pub reading, but whose clever and persistent rhymes echo in the head. Plus, a listener at a reading would miss the structure of the poem, a double sonnet that swings in a circle back to its opening line. A perfect answer to the question “Where did rhyming go?” and living proof that vibrant language energy is not incompatible with craft.
WINNING POEM:
Father
by Peggy McCarthy
Coming in I often pass you in the hallway, in sepia,
your wedding day, June 1955. You couldn’t believe your luck.
And sometimes I stop to catch a trace of something I missed.
Maybe it’s the way the light catches the glass
I think I almost see you clearly
but mostly you give nothing away.
Clear-eyed, upright photo-stance,
a peep of handkerchief in your breast-pocket,
your first and last trip to the photographer’s studio.
Right hand put away behind your back
your left- fingers folded in a fist,
elbow tentatively crooked for your new bride.
Going out, I sometimes glance at you again,
this time it’s the other photo, a dozen years after the first.
Your farmer’s grind cast briefly aside,
your brow furrowed, your slack half-smile.
And what do I really know? You were not for turning
from buckets and wells to pipes and plumbing,
from bicycle clips and tilly lamps to motor cars and electricity.
You knew land and fields and the cuckoo’s call.
You said the best part of the potato lies under the skin.
These things hold steady when I pass through
angling to catch a glimpse of something new in the fading
greys and blurry edges of an overcast summer.
MORE ABOUT THE WINNERS:
Peggy McCarthy is currently doing the M.A. in Creative Writing in U.C.C. and loving the opportunity to spend time with other writers. She was a primary teacher for many years. She loves hiking in the glorious Comeragh Mountains or swimming in the sea! Born near Skibbereen in West Cork, Waterford City has been home since childhood.
Vanessa Lampert recently completed an MA in writing poetry at Poetry School London. Since she works full time as an acupuncturist, something had to give so she gave up exercise and housework. saying these sacrifices were ‘easy as hell’. She now needs a lie down and a massage after walking up a single flight of stairs. Since lockdown she has hoovered round resentfully and has no plan to repeat this in the foreseeable.
Susan Musgrave writes, “In June, my husband, a writer and retired bank raider, died; in July, my mother, and, in December, my handsome cat, Boo. I don’t have a dog, but if I’d had one, I have no doubt he would have died, too.” When asked for a bio-note that did not, “in the interest of originality,” include details about her pets, she had this to say: “No comment.” (Unique cat videos available upon request.)
Allen Tullos, a professor of history and digital humanities at Emory University, is co-founder of the online journal Southern Spaces and author of two books of American Studies: Habits of Industry: White Culture and the Transformation of the Carolina Piedmont and Alabama Getaway: The Political Imaginary and the Heart of Dixie. “Shoegazers’ Companions” comes from an in-progress poetry manuscript of memoir, history, and musical ekphrasis.
Celeste McMaster, originally from Arkansas, now lives in Charleston, South Carolina. She is chair and a professor of the English Department at Charleston Southern University. Celeste writes poetry and fiction and enjoys yoga, traveling, and learning flamenco dancing. Lately, Celeste spends time being quarantined with her husband, Jason, and their three bulldogs. Instead of fretting about the pandemic, she meditates on beach time at Edisto and imagines a first trip to Ireland.
Michelle North-Coombes has lived in South Africa and the UK and now lives on the beautiful Gold Coast in Australia with her husband David. Having never quite recovered from the thrill of seeing her first poem published (aged 8, school newsletter) she continues to write whenever her creative muse co-operates. Otherwise, she can be found shouting at pollies on the telly, beachcombing or working on her rather dissolute family tree. She has a BA (Hons) in Journalism from QUT.
Bill Richardson published some poems as a young man but wrote little during decades of teaching at second and third levels. A native of Dublin, he is now Emeritus Professor of Spanish at the National University of Ireland Galway and has re-engaged in recent years with his passion for creative writing. He enjoys swimming in the Atlantic, reading writers such as John Ashbery and Jorge Luis Borges, and practising tai chi to the music of Arvo Pärt.
Leah C Stetson is from Maine. She writes poetry beside a black-ash seep and a pond. Her writing has appeared in Off the Coast, Red Ochre Lit, and the Fish Anthology 2019. She holds a master’s degree in human ecology, and is a graduate student in the Interdisciplinary PhD program at University of Maine in a tenacious pursuit of deep, Romantic ecology of wetlands. Last summer, Leah had an ‘out-of-body’ experience on the Beara Peninsula in search of the Hag of Beara.
Angela Long writes because she doesn’t know what else to do, in any genre that will have her. Poetry remains her first love though and has helped her stay sane. Ever since the age of 14, when she wrote a sonnet for a stream, she has been hooked. She’s originally from Canada but likes to wander. Right now she’s living in Galicia, Spain.
Geoff Burnes is a writer, editor, musician, erstwhile business consultant, travel addict, environmentalist, opinionated political commentator and general smartarse. He lives with his delightful wife Elizabeth, who has tolerated him for many years, and has no children or pets, because they wouldn’t. For most of his career, he wrote sales proposals and marketing documents, so he has a good grounding in fiction. He now writes mainly poems, short stories, long stories, song lyrics and polemic.
