Frogmore poet Michael Swan has won the Stanza poetry prize (judged by Sheenagh Pugh) for his poem 'I Wasn't There. Michael's first collection, When They Come For You was published by the Frogmore Press in 2003 and his second is due later this year from Oversteps. Recent work will also appear in the March issue of The Frogmore Papers. Copies of his debut collection are still available from the Frogmore Press at £5.95.

Peter Carpenter, whose work has appeared regularly in Frogmore publications down the years, most recently in Poetry South East 2010, has been elected Chair of the Trustees of the Poetry Society.
