The T S Eliot Prize 2009

HEAR THE SHORTLISTED POETS READ FROM THEIR COLLECTIONS

This year's T S Eliot Prize Readings were held in the Southbank's Queen Elizabeth Hall on Sunday 17th January 2010. All of the shortlisted poets read from their collections, with the exception of Sharon Olds, who was too ill to perform. Jo Shapcott stepped in and read for her, and the evening, which was completely sold out, was a huge success.

To listen to all ten of this year's T S Eliot Shortlisted poets, please click below. Each part of the recording lasts for approximately one hour.
