I’m surprised and delighted to share that my poetry collection This Transfigured Chapel of the Threads has won third place in the Catholic Media Association 2024 Catholic Book Awards. The winner of this category was the wondrous anthology 100 Great Catholic Poems edited by poet Sally Read, and second place was a new annotated edition of selected poems by Gerard Manley Hopkins edited by Holly Ordway. An honourable mention went to Laura Reece Hogan’s beautiful collection Butterfly Nebula, which won the gold medal in this year’s Illumination Book Awards (Transfigured Chapel won the bronze) and the Backwaters prize for poetry. What fabulous company I’m in!
