The Third Derwent Poetry Festival will take place over the weekend of 20th – 22nd November. The festival launches nine new titles from Templar, including the four new pamphlets from the 2009 Pamphlet and Collection Competition which was judged by Tim Liardet.

The winners were Paul Maddern, David Morley, Nuala Ni Choncuir and Dawn Wood. Many of the shortlisted poets will also be reading from the competition anthology.

There are three new collections, from Nigel McLouglin, Maggie O’Dywer and Katrina Naomi along with a new pamphlet from Jane Weir.
