| ‘The Water Table’, a collection of poems by Glamorgan Professor Philip Gross, has scooped the UK’s foremost prize for poetry, the prestigious TS Eliot prize.
The University’s Professor of Creative Writing follows in the footsteps of former winners such as Ted Hughes for ‘Love Letters’, Carol Ann Duffy for ‘Rapture’ and Seamus Heaney for ‘District and Circle’.
Inaugurated in 1993 to celebrate the Poetry Book Society's 40th birthday and honour its founding poet, the award comes with a £15,000 cash prize, the largest in British poetry. |
