Media Studies graduate and published poet Thomas Wolfe is running a competition to help emerging voices be heard and become published. Thomas, who graduated in 2015, has since set up his own publishing company and released his first book on Tuesday 29 March, Thoughts of a Dying Youth, a poetry collection he has been working on for the past decade.

The Knightmare Press 2017 Poetry Competition in association with Dirty Cash Co runs from now until 1 July 2017 and the theme is ‘change’. Submissions must be made via at Thomas’s website.
