Remember Remember... After October we're shadowing the TS Eliot Prize Shortlist.

So...how'd you like to sound some poetry out again? 

We have 10 poets to ruminate over, to laugh about and in between, much cake to eat. It's been a while... 

During November and December we will share our thoughts on these poems in preparation for the winning announcement on Monday 14th January 2013. 

I'll be giving you details about our next meet-up very soon - I do hope you can make it!!! 

If you want to download a selection of the poems here is the link. In November we will discuss 9 poems selected from the nominated collections by Simon Armitage, Sean Borrowdale, Gillian Clarke, Julia Copus and Paul Farley ...
