TS Eliot Prize Readings: Live Stream
Tune in to the live stream of the UK’s biggest live poetry event, to hear readings by the shortlisted authors, hosted by poet and broadcaster Ian McMillan.
The TS Eliot Prize is the world’s most prestigious prize for poetry. Past winners include internationally renowned poets with established reputations, as well as newly emerging writers helping to reshape the art form.
