#NorthSeaPoets #PoetrySky #TSEliotPrize
A quote from TS Eliot Prize Chair Michael Hofmann on Karen Solie's Wellwater. The text reads: 'The poems of Wellwater come from the whole of an adventurously lived life. They hold the two sentiments, The world is a beautiful place/The world is a terrible place, in perfect equipoise. They offer no happy endings, no salvation in past or future, in epiphany or private happiness. And yet they are anything but grim, with an ironic humour that plays over our increasingly euphemism-hungry culture.' In the background is a photo of the frothy sea and dark blue skies. The North Sea Poets is at the bottom.

The next poet to the stage is Gillian Allnutt, reading from Lode. Young Critic Anisha Jaya Minocha says ‘Allnutt’s poems are saturated with attentiveness to the ways in which we have lived and can live’, exploring 'transience, passage & contemplation'

Next, we hear from Catherine Esther-Cowie, reading from Heirloom. Young Critic Aphra Le Levier-Bennett describes Heirloom as 'beautiful and haunting', a collection that sets violence against ‘crafted moments of autonomy’

After the very enlightening katyevansbush.bsky.social workshops on the TS Eliot Prize shortlisted books at the weekend, I'm now deciding which of them I'd like to read in full.... certainly Peter Gizzi's winning collection. Also Gboyega Odubanjo's 'Adam', and ...? #poetry #TSEliotPrize
