Congratulations to Avril Joy who scooped the first prize in the YorkMix Poetry Competition 2019 with her poem, Skomm!
Avril (of Witton-le-Wear) was awarded her prize by judge Clare Shaw during the Poetry Competition Results evening, which took place while attendees enjoyed a river cruise of the Ouse by City Cruises York. Avril’s poem was inspired by her experience of working as a teacher in a women’s prison.
