Fiona Moore's second collection, Okapi, is available from Blue Diode Press. A single poem, split into sections, set on a Scottish island. Loss, landscape, politics, grief and determination - it's all in here. The distant okapi is somehow never far away.

@TheFridayPoem @ForwardPrizes @Nell_Nelson I found this discussion very interesting. One thing though, when you question the eligibility of the 2022 NPC poem - poems published between 5 March 2023 and 4 March 2024 are eligible for the Forward 2024 Prize, and the 2022 NPC Award ceremony was on 29 March 2023.
