The T.S. 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.

This year, the shortlist has been chosen by judges Michael Hofmann (Chair), Patience Agbabi and Niall Campbell.

The T.S. Eliot Prize is among the world’s most celebrated awards. Inaugurated in 1993 to celebrate the Poetry Book Society’s 40th birthday and to honour its founding poet, the Prize is now awarded by the T.S. Eliot Foundation.

Presented in collaboration with the T.S. Eliot Foundation
