      Third place Lancaster Writing Awards 2018 Poem "Dull," third place, poetry category of Lancaster Writing Awards. Professor Paul Farley commented: "Dull, it is not, and manages its two-line stanzas to good effect, creating a locked groove variation on a dream theme, where ‘the night chases itself’. I picked up an odd quality of sleep leaching back into a waking state, a cusp between interior and exterior, mirrored by the poem’s mise-en-scène."
