'There’s a fluidity and elegance to the writing that carries you along so easily you don’t notice how good it is.' - Annie Fisher, The Friday Poem, on #HelenFarish's @tseliotprize-shortlisted collection The Penny Dropping. A wonderful in-depth review. thefridaypoem.substack.com/p/the-friday-p…
A few photos from the @tseliotprize weekend. HUGE congratulations to the incredible Peter Gizzi 🩵 Fierce Elegy is a remarkable book and it was so special to celebrate it. Still pinching myself that Lapwing was on that list 💚

The T. S. Eliot Prize is deeply saddened to hear of the death of Michael Longley on 22 January 2025 at the age of 85. Michael won the 2000 T. S. Eliot Prize for his collection The Weather in Japan. Our deepest sympathies to his family. tseliot.com/prize/a-custod…
Love and sympathy to the Longley family. Michael was a great poet and a truly wonderful person - learned, clever, witty, fun, talented, kind & mischievous. He won the T. S. Eliot Prize in 2001 and was a personal favourite of Mrs Eliot's.
Another chance to hear the lovely 2016 @BBCRadio4 feature Conversations on a Bench in which #KatrinaPorteous narrates a specially commissioned poem. It's now published in her @tseliotprize-shortlisted fourth collection #Rhizodont (as 'A Lang Way Hyem'). bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
