Congratulation and well done to Callum Lavery whose poem won the Ulster section of the national Hot Press writing competition. He is one of just twenty five students in the whole country to be nominated for the final so it's a huge achievement for him and the English Department. Callum's poem will now be featured in the next edition of the magazine.
