An evening of poetry readings from Alice Oswald and special guests Rachel Long and Caroline Bird, as part of Lyra - Bristol Poetry Festival 2024. Alice Oswald has published 6 collections of poetry, including Dart which won the TS Eliot Prize.
A gardener and poet, Alice Oswald lived and worked for many years at Dartington in Devon. She is the first female Professor of Poetry at Oxford, and has particular interest in poetry as an oral tradition. Born 1966, she studied Classics and then Horticulture. Her books include Dart - a documentary poem about a river - which won the TS Eliot Prize; and Memorial - a war poem drawn from the Iliad.
Rachel Long’s debut collection, My Darling from the Lions was published by Picador in the UK, in 2020, and by Tin House, in the US, in 2021. It was shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best First Collection, The Costa Book Award, The Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award, The Rathbones Folio Prize, and the Jhalak Prize Book of the Year by a Writer of Colour. The US edition of My Darling from the Lions was a New York Times Book Review and named one of the 100 must-read books of 2021 by TIME.
Caroline Bird’s selected poems, Rookie (2022), and The Air Year (2020) are two of Carcanet’s most popular books of the present decade. She won the Forward Prize for Best Collection in 2020, and has been shortlisted for a number of prizes including the TS Eliot Prize, the Costa Book Awards, the Ted Hughes Award, the Polari Prize and the Dylan Thomas Prize. She won a Cholmondeley Award in 2023. Her seventh collection, Ambush at Still Lake, will be published in July.
