From the
Academi [Wales]:
Welsh writers have made the shortlists for both the T S Eliot Prize for poetry, and the Whitbread Book Awards.
Kathryn Gray, from Caerphilly, is one of ten poets shortlisted for the T S Eliot prize for poetry. She is particularly thrilled as it is for her debut collection, The Never Never, published by Seren. She is up against established names like Ruth Padel and Michael Longley, and previous winners of the £10,000 prize include Ted Hughes. The judges for the T S Eliot Prize will make their final decision on Monday 17th January 2005.
Richard Collins, from west Wales, has been shortlisted for the first novel award for The Land as Viewed from the Sea, also published by Seren, while Susan Fletcher is also shortlisted for the first novel award for Eve Green, a novel set in rural Wales and published by Perennial.
The Academi represents the interests of Welsh writers.
