Take a final glance back at what we can only summarise as an ‘interesting’ year and make the time to vote for your favourite IS&T poem from December 2016. Our shortlist of six is below (or see the ‘Vote for your Pick of the Month for December 2016’ in the Categories list to your right on the screen) and ranges from the absurd to the unsettling to the poigant, a bit like the year itself!

The works have been chosen by Helen and Kate or received the most attention on social media

Please VOTE HERE. Voting will close at 9pm on Monday 16th January.

The winner each month will be sent a £10 book giftcard or, if preferred, a donation of the same amount will be made to a chosen charity. In the event of the winner being from outside the UK mainland, we will make every effort to provide a reasonable alternative.
