We're thrilled to announce that Some Integrity by Padraig Regan has won the Lammy Award for Gay Poetry! Established over thirty years ago, the Lammy Awards - also known as the Lambda Literary Awards - recognise the crucial role that LGBTQ writers play in shaping the world.

The winners were selected by a panel of over 65 literary professionals and represent the best of LGBTQ literature this year, and were announced at the 25th Annual Lammy Awards in New York on 9th June. You can read the full list of winners here.

Congratulations Padraig for this amazing achievement!

Some Integrity is the much-anticipated first collection from Eric Gregory Award winner Padraig Regan. The poems bring something new to the Irish lyric tradition. Queerness provides a perspective, aware of the porous and provisional nature of our bodies. The book's social encounters and exchanges, its responses to the work of artists, its figures in a landscape, and its consideration of food and desire, work as capsule narratives and as an exhilarating extension of that lyric tradition.
