Congratulations Marty...
Well deserved too. Recognition such as this is, in my opinion, far more satisfying than any competition result. It shows that your words have hit home with the people you are writing about.
Cheers, Will.

Re: Congratulations Marty
Good to hear Marty. It's interesting how the service or ex-services are still keen sponsors of the arts. Maybe its something about the experience of war that only can be said in the distilled language of poetry.

Hey Neville...
I don't mean to hi-jack Marty's thread, but just had to jump in when I read your "distilled language". That is how I feel about poetry in a nutshell really.
'distil'...verb...to vaporize and recondense (a liquid); to purify, separate, concentrate.
Nice.
I may adopt "distil language" as my motto!
Cheers, Will.
