Biographies
Sarah Howe’s debut poetry collection Loop of Jade won the T.S. Eliot Prize and The Sunday Times / PFD Young Writer of the Year Award.

Kate Potts' debut poetry pamphlet Whichever Music was a Poetry Book Society Choice and was shortlisted for a Michael Marks Award. Her full-length collection Pure Hustle was described as "a pure gem" by Jo Shapcott.
Karen McCarthy-Woolf’s poetry has been nominated for the Forward best first collection prize, translated into Spanish, Swedish and Turkish and is a ‘wryly humorous take on origins, identity and movement’ (BBC Arts).
