Lesley Mountain won the first Annual James Kirkup Memorial Poetry Competition with her poem 'The Timewasters'. The publication of this pamphlet is the prize.
"Lesley has a number of themes - maturation, responsibility, territory - which she explores from an interesting succession of angles. There is always a subtlety of approach, and an engagement with language that borders on the intense."
W. N. Herbert
