Litro had such a hard time choosing the winners of LitroTV’s competition that we awarded the prize to two, very different, but equally talented poets. Here is our second winning entry, Amy McCallum’s ‘The Basis of Something That’s A Bit More Than Nothing.’

Amy is a London based actress and poet and has recently graduated from the Drama Centre London.  Previous to this she studied English Literature and Drama at the University of East Anglia wishing mostly to be training at a drama school.  With retrospect she now says that ‘it is the challenges and discomforts (however minor) in life that we seem to learn the most from’ and that all those hours spent escaping the place by going off into the realms of creative writing (if you could call it that then…it was unfathomable!) were as valuable as ever.  She has only just begun performing her poetry this year.
