The Ten Winners:
Selected by Billy Collins, to be published in the Fish Anthology 2021
FIRST
LETTER TO DOWSIE, FROM ROETHKE IN IRELAND by Greg Rappleye (Michigan USA)
“It’s one long stanza perfectly fits Roethke’s sustained utterance as he writes home from Ireland about his current state. The lack of self-pity is impressive here, for this man is in the throes of depression and alcoholism, riding the ‘moron bus’ and led around by ‘four orderlies in white”. And far from home. His joys sustain him, though, particularly music and the pub life, where he hushes ‘the fiddles and parts a cloud of pipe smoke’ before reciting a poem to the crowd. This poem is a sensitive comic/tragic portrait of a mad genius in extremis, a stranger in a land whose own strangeness suits him.” Billy Collins
SECOND
CHEMO by Matt Hohner (Baltimore, USA) 
“This poem smartly and charmingly avoids the slippery slope of the maudlin that goes easily with the sub-genre of cancer poetry. The saving grace is the friendship of the patient and her visitor and the humor they mix into the horrifying toxic effects of her treatment, including a serum ‘meant to almost kill her in order to kill/the tumor growing inside her head.’ We feel the seriousness under the joking, and the love under the horrid symptoms. It’s a poem that keeps it cool under the immediate pressure of life and death.” Billy Collins
THIRD
DON’T RUSH TO CLEAN HER ROOM by Pippa Gough (Kent, England)
“I saw this poem as a corollary to Thomas’s Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night. It’s too late to rage at Death, of course, or anything else, but the speaker uses a similar imperative tone to insist that the departed’s room be left intact, preserving it for a while. ‘Allow… the toothpaste stains to harden on the sink.’ ‘Ignore the powder-tangle of her drawer,/ the sweet half-sucked, the scattered pills.” How such common things are made to move us! And leave the mirror, for ‘it holds her in its silvered depths.’ As in the best elegies, grief and loss are anchored and illuminated by the common things around us.” The speaker rages in favor of respect and reverence.” Billy Collins

MORE ABOUT THE WINNERS
Greg Rappleye lives in Grand Haven, Michigan. His second collection of poems, A Path Between Houses (University of Wisconsin Press, 2000) won the Brittingham Prize in Poetry.

He has adapted a poem of his with composer Brechtje into lyrics for a song performed in Amsterdam. Hohner’s first collection is Thresholds and Other Poems (Apprentice House 2018). Salmon Poetry will publish his next collection in 2023. Hohner has published in six countries and four continents. He lives in Baltimore, USA.
Pippa Gough was born in England, but grew up in sub-Saharan Africa. She enjoyed an itinerant childhood and developed extraordinary talents in being as adaptable as a chameleon but as rootless as a milk tooth. She has had a number of careers – all of them connected to nursing and health care, about which she grows increasingly passionate. She is currently an executive coach working mainly with health care workers and lives Kent with Nick.
Phillip Crymble is a physically disabled writer and literary scholar from Belfast. A poetry editor at The Fiddlehead, he holds a MFA from the University of Michigan and has published poems in Magma, The North, The Stinging Fly, Poetry Ireland Review, Iota, The Forward Book of Poetry, and elsewhere. In 2007 he was selected to read in Poetry Ireland’s Introductions series. In 2016, Not Even Laughter, his first book-length collection, came out with Salmon Poetry.
Michael Lavers is the author of After Earth, published by the University of Tampa Press. His poems have appeared in Ploughshares, AGNI, Southwest Review, Best New Poets 2015, and elsewhere. He has been awarded the University of Canberra Vice-Chancellor’s International Poetry Prize, the Moth Poetry Prize, and the Bridport Poetry Prize. Together with his wife, the writer and artist Claire Åkebrand, and their two children, he lives in Provo, Utah, and teaches at Brigham Young University.
Alice Twemlow (Ph.D RCA/V&A) is a design historian and research professor at The Royal Academy of Art The Hague (KABK) and Leiden University and a professor by special appointment at University of Amsterdam. She contributes essays about all aspects of design culture to publications such as Disegno, MacGuffin and Dirty Furniture. These range from critiques of the anti-clutter movement and toilet paper branding to readings of manifestations of post-disposal design such as plastiglomerate and space junk.
Maureen Boyle lives in Belfast where this summer she retires from teaching after thirty years – 28 of them in St Dominic’s Grammar School on the Falls Road. She will miss the students but be glad to have more time for writing, the garden and her allotment and plans to be on some class of beach in the first week of September in celebration and because she can.
Victoria Walvis lives on Lamma, a subtropical island without llamas in Hong Kong, with one foot in Florence Italy—soon home. She’s part England, part Holland, part perfectionist tomboy. Passions are moving words small distances on paper and swimming inexpertly with a lot of splashing. She’s powered by coffee, but it won’t sponsor her. Poet of the Peel Street Poets, she’s performed for the Economist and HK International Literary Festival, and runs curious poetry workshops for anyone remotely curious.
Will Ingrams writes poetry, short stories and the occasional novel at his cottage in rural Suffolk. He has won or been shortlisted in a number of competitions over the years, and has a blog at https://willingwordwhirl.wordpress.com where more of his poems can be found. Will’s flesh and blood avatar has spent time as a forecourt attendant, a postman, a teacher, and a computer geek before turning to writing and growing vegetables.
Partridge Boswell is a stay-at-home rover, father of seven, and author of the Grolier Award-winning collection Some Far Country. When not hitchhiking or freighthopping, his bindlestiff poems have recently found homes in Poetry, Gettysburg Review, American Poetry Review, Poetry Ireland Review, Rattle and The Moth. Co-founder of Bookstock Literary Festival, he troubadours widely with the poetry/music group Los Lorcas, whose debut release Last Night in America (2021) is available on Thunder Ridge Records. Please say hello when you see him busking on Grafton Street.
The overall winning poem:
Letter to Dowsie, from Roethke in Ireland
-St. Brigid’s Psychiatric Hospital at Ballinasloe,
County Galway, September 3, 1960
Driven mad by channel wrack and fresh sprats in bad oil,
sobbing on the oyster dock, at lowest tide I was
rowed to the mail boat by a barefoot Carmelite,
then lugged ashore at Cleggan and poured into the back
of a Singer sedan. I swore I’d suppress my “affect”
for a splash on our way to the bughouse,
and the good padre, having tippled with me
in those dicey island days, found nothing against the faith
in that. He meted out Kilbeggan’s every ten miles
or-so, toasting each chosen apostle, excluding the Iscariot,
but counting Matthias and Paul. As single-pot prodigal,
I’ve found an easier, softer way: drinking cold buttermilk,
noshing stewed apples and mealy fishcakes
with the daft nuns and my attending physician,
a kindly man who is the spitball image of Barry Fitzgerald.
Walrus-like, I’ve wallowed in the hydro baths
as in our famous days at Mercywood, and thanks
to my trans-Atlantic laurels, my benzo-calm
and affable demeanor, I’m driven to a public house
on seisiún nights aboard the moron-bus, and allowed
two stiff drinks and the recitation of a poem.
It’s grand to hush the fiddles and part a cloud of pipe smoke,
led through the tavern door by four orderlies in white,
as if I’m blind O’Carolan, stumbled home at last,
escorted by that squadroon of virtuous angels
by which minor deities are ushered into the world.
On the wall chart of temperaments, mine approaches a shaker
of dry martinis—sanguine with ice and three drops of melancholic.
Dowsie, when did you last climb a honeysuckle trellis?
When did you last scurry through an asylum greenhouse,
tripping over clay pots and hashing your knees?
I imagine you now as sea-lioness, sleek and black,
your most clever pup dropped carelessly,
left to gorge on red dulse in a midnight sea
and you, shrieking all those long tumultuous hours
atop a granite rock, eelgrass wilding beyond you in the surf.
Greg Rappleye
