The shortlist for the 2017 Michael Murphy Memorial prize has
just been announced by judges Deryn Rees-Jones, Karen Leeder and John
Mcauliffe. The £1000 prize is awarded for a distinctive first book of poetry in
English published in Britain or Ireland. I’m honoured that Disko Bay is one
of the five titles on the shortlist, alongside This Changes Things by Claire Askew, Beauty / Beauty by Rebecca Perry, The Observances by Kate Miller and Otherwise by John Dennison.
The winner will be announced on National Poetry Day, 28
September 2017 and the prize will be awarded at the English Association's
Annual General Meeting on 23 May 2018. Meanwhile, Disko Bay is available to Poetry Book Society members at the customary 25% discount.
