When the T. S. Eliot Prize founded the Young Critics scheme with The Poetry Society\u2019s Young Poets Network, the aim was to empower young critics, to offer a different critical viewpoint on the shortlisted collections, and to engage more young readers with the Prize.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Following a series of workshops led by The Poetry Society\u2019s Cia Mangat, writer and reviewer Helen Bowell, and expert guest Jen Campbell, this year\u2019s Young Critics \u2013 Evelyn Byrne, Daniel Clark, Oliver Cooney, Godelieve de Bree, Chloe Elliott, Leo Kang, Urussa Malik, Cal O’Reilly, Natalie Perman and Gabrielle Tse \u2013 have produced astonishingly engaging and insightful video reviews of the 2023 T. S. Eliot Prize Shortlist<\/a><\/strong>. The videos combine both dazzling critiques and visuals, and are a brilliant way to deepen the reader\u2019s experience and understanding of the collections.<\/p>\n

\n

The Poetry Society team and I hatched the Young Critics scheme to generate exciting new critiques of the T. S. Eliot Prize Shortlist and to increase young readers\u2019 interest in the Prize. We are delighted with this year\u2019s astounding videos \u2013 incisive reviews, beautifully presented. Everyone who sees them will find fresh insights and new ways to connect with the collections.<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 Michael Sims, Director, T. S. Eliot Prize<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Look out for the video reviews posted on the T. S. Eliot Prize YouTube channel<\/a><\/strong> in two batches over the next fortnight. In tandem with The Poetry Society, the videos will also be widely promoted across social media. The Young Critics receive copies of all the books on this year\u2019s Shortlist and are invited to attend the T. S. Eliot Prize Shortlist Readings at the Royal Festival Hall, London, on 14 January 2024.<\/p>\n

You can also watch the stunning videos created by the 2022 cohort<\/a> \u2013 Aliyah Begum, Eric Yip, Holly Moberly, Noah Jacob, SZ Shao, Lily McDermott, Mukisa Verrall, Davina Bacon and Ruth Awolola \u2013 on the T. S. Eliot Prize YouTube channel.<\/p>\n
