Hannah Copley, shortlisted with her collection Lapwing (Pavilion Poetry / Liverpool University Press, 2024), is the featured poet in this week’s Eliot Prize e-newsletter.

The newsletter tells you about the wide range of content we have just published to help you get to know Copley and her collection.

This includes specially produced videos of Copley reading from Lapwing, and talking about both the composition of the poems and the themes they explore.

Download our Reader’s Notes on Lapwing, with a selection of poems from the collection, plus reviews, reading suggestions, and a writing prompt or two for those inspired to respond creatively. The aim of the Readers’ Notes is to inspire deeper readings of the book, individually or shared with friends, book groups or writing workshops.

We have also published an insightful review, specially commissioned from John Field.
