The winning poems and essays of 2021’s Keats-Shelley and Young Romantics Writing Prizes were revealed at 7pm 16th Septermber by Guest Judge Simon Barnes. Like last year, Simon made his announcement online and with his much-loved eloquence - beginning with an allusion to Ozymandias and ending with a quotation from Finnegan’s Wake (the end aptly enough).
Watch below.
