Palestine Verses 2016 – and the winners are…

And the winners for this year’s Palestine Verses are:

• 1^st Place: Hafsah Aneela Bashir – A Tap on the Roof
• 2^nd Place: John Ling – We will be angry
• 3^rd Place: Barbara Cumbers – Thirst Fugue

We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who submitted poems: we were amazed by the response we had to the competition: we received over 100 poems!

The standard of entries was excellent and made it extremely difficult to select the three finalists!

The three finalists will have the opportunity to read their poems at our Nakba Narratives event this Saturday 21^st May at Royal Nawaab London.

Like last year we will publish a poetry booklet that will include the 20 best poems – keep an eye on your emails, your poem might be selected!

Again, thanks to all the entrants, reading your poems was absolutely wonderful. We are incredibly grateful to each and everyone of you for taking part!
