Andrew Motion and Jorie Graham among ten shortlisted for TS Eliot prize
The £25,000 award for a single collection of poetry, the UK and Ireland's most prestigious, has named its ten finalists for this year.
The former UK poet laureate Andrew Motion and the Pulitzer prize winner Jorie Graham are among ten poets shortlisted for this year's TS Eliot prize, according to the Guardian. The prize, worth £25,000, is considered the UK and Ireland's most prestigious award for a single volume of poetry.
Motion has been shortlisted for his collection Gravity Archives. Graham, who was previously a finalist for the prize in 2012, is nominated for Killing Spree.
The Guardian reported that the ten shortlisted collections were chosen for work that, in the words of the judges cited by the paper, 'remind us why it's to poetry we turn to reorient ourselves.' No further details of the other eight shortlisted poets or the award ceremony date were given in the Guardian's report.
