Prize winners announced for this year’s Poetry Prize.
‘A deeply impressive range of stories, both in style and subject. Together they offer a picture of contemporary life in miniature.’
Benjamin Markovits on the winners of this year’s Short Story Prize.
In honour of the scariest day of the year, the team at The London Magazine share their favourite books, stories and poems in the generously-applied category of ‘spooky’ fiction, film and poetry.
Choices include works by M. R. James, Angela Carter and Niall Campbell.
On the winning entries, the judges say: ‘We were all drawn to particular poems, and enjoyed discussing them a great deal but our winner, ‘The End’, was a unanimous one.’
The London Magazine Poetry Prize 2025, judged by poets Fiona Benson, Jason Allen-Paisant and Mai Serhan, is now open. Entries close March 31st.
