The Browning Society Poetry Prize
Quick Links: Past Winning Entries | 2009/10 Competition
The young Elizabeth Barrett confessed that she was dreadful at sewing, needle-work and other such female accomplishments, but she loved to write poetry. When she was only nine years old her father dubbed her ‘the Poet Laureate of Hope End,' the family home in Herefordshire. As a toddler, Robert Browning made up rhymes while walking round the dining room, clinging to the table to steady himself. ‘I cannot remember the time when I did not make verses and think verse-making the finest thing in the world,' he once said. To encourage interest among young people in the work of these two poets and the writing of poetry, The Browning Society has established an annual poetry competition.
