Raymond Antrobus, shortlisted with his collection Signs, Music (Picador Poetry, 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 Antrobus and his collection.

We’re delighted to continue our celebrated video series with specially produced recordings of Antrobus reading from Signs, Music, and talking about both the composition of the poems and the themes they explore.

Download the Reader’s Notes on Signs, Music, which include 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. Raymond has also made a wonderful contribution to the Poetry School’s Writer’s Notes project, in which he talks about his writing practice. The series helps professional poets and creative writing students develop their practice by sharing the writing approaches of some of contemporary poetry’s most exciting and accomplished voices.
