Cliff Fell - The Eleventh Hour Judge
Nelson poet Cliff Fell will be joining Justin Eade in judging the Eleventh Hour submissions. A true renaissance man, Fell has brought his vast experience of the world to his writings with a rich and wry musicality that embraces both classicism and modernity. Fell has published essays and short stories, as well as his three books of poems, the first of which ‘The Adulterer’s Bible’ earned him the 2002 Adam Prize in Creative Writing and the 2004 New Zealand Society of Authors Jessie Mackay Best First Book Award for Poetry.
