The Poetry School in London is offering course vouchers to the winner of its poetry competition, inspired by the film Paterson (Soda Pictures). Deadline: 11 November 2016. Open only to UK-based poets, I’m afraid. The competition is for ‘Diary Poems’, to reflect the conversational, diary style of the poems by the film’s fictional poet Paterson (poems actually written by Ron Padgett). Your poem should be 40 lines or less; one poem per entrant. Check out Paterson’s poems here: Sample poems by Paterson Read the full rules before submitting.
