'''Winner'''
{{topten|author=Jo Shapcott|title=''Of Mutability|rating=Unreviewed|genre=Literary Fiction|summary=Unfortunately we don't have a review of this book. The judges said ''These strong poems are rooted in the poet's experience of breast cancer but are all about life, hope and play. Fizzing with variety, they are a paean to creativity and make the reader feel that what matters to us all is imagination, humanity and a smile.''|amazonuk=<amazonuk>0571254713</amazonuk>}}by Jo Shapcott
