First Michael Marks awards for poetry pamphlets

26 juni 2009
The inaugural awards ceremony of a major new prize for UK poets and their publishers was held on Wednesday 24 June. The first UK Poetry Pamphlet Awards highlights the importance of the pamphlet form in introducing new poetry to readers and the continuing vibrancy of the print pamphlet in the internet age.
Elizabeth Burns’ elegiac The Shortest Days – just twelve pages long – won her the £5,000 prize Michael Marks award for poetry pamphlets, while the experimental publisher Oystercatcher Press won the £5,000 UK poetry pamphlet publisher award.
