Notes

  • Blake Prize 2013 Judges’ Comments

    Citing the self-confessed poet Ishmael from Melville’s Moby Dick, the narrator keeps the reader in suspense with an intriguing tale of nostalgia, mystery, intoxication, doubt and belief. The tone is by turns ironic and lyrical, with an imagistic control of the abstract. Dynamic and unexpected occurrences unfold with ease; appearances and disappearances are both discrete and interconnected making the poem edgy, breathtaking, intoxicating to read and highly skilful.
