The Water Table the latest poetry collection from Philip Gross won the TS Eliot Prize 2009. Congratulations Philip! Well done.
The TS Eliot Prize is one of the big poetry prizes in Britain. Valerie Eliot herself hands over the cheque on prizegiving night and has supported the prize since 1993.
I am so very happy for Philip Gross, a wonderful poet and lovely man. He has a combination of humour, warmth and a sharp intelligence in his demeanour which I very much appreciate.
If you have not read the book I can of course recommend it!
