‘Robin in Flight’ by Paul Adrian

The winner of the Poetry Society's National Poetry Competition 2011 is Robin in Flight by Paul Adrian.

Previously unknown, Paul Adrian has produced something that many poets will envy (apart from the fact that he won £5,000 for it). It is a beautiful conceptual work, which has caused me to read and re-read it many times. I find the last two lines particularly impressive.

Hopefully, this will not be the last we hear of Paul Adrian. I, for one, will be keeping an eye on his progress.
