The shortlisted poets read from their collections on the eve of the judges’ decision on the winner. The judging panel this year, chaired by Gillian Clarke with Stephen Knight and Dennis O’Driscoll, have a strong shortlist to choose from, and this event is a unique opportunity to hear the very best contemporary poets reading from their work. 
I was fortunate to attend the evening and particularly enjoyed John Burnside but for those of you who couldn't make it you can click on this link to hear: John Burnside, Carol Ann Duffy, Leontia Flynn, David Harsent, Esther Morgan, Daljit Nagra, Sean O’Brien and Bernard O’Donoghue. Enjoy!
