Below we reveal the titles (in alphabetical order) of the thirty poems which have been selected by judge, Jean O’Brien, as a long list from the over 350 poems entered in the 2021 Trim Poetry Competition.
Congratulation to the poets whose poems are here but also to all who entered. Jean commented on how high the standard was and how difficult her task was.
