Rosie Garland & The Competition Winners
Online
Monday 11th January 2027
Who's won the Cheltenham Poetry Festival 2026 International Poetry Competition?
We start this event with the competition judge and brilliant poet and performer, Rosie Garland. Rosie will be reading some of her own work, before introducing the winners who read their poems. We will be adding more details, when we know the results!
Rosie Garland (‘one of the UK’s most compelling LGBT+ writers’ - Val McDermid), writes poetry, fiction, song lyrics & sings with post-punk band The March Violets. Her collection What Girls Do in the Dark (Nine Arches) was shortlisted for the Polari Prize 2021. In This Is How I Fight (Observer Poetry Book of the Month June 2025), she explores where we might find the courage needed to forge a way through the world, proposing kindness as a radical act.
