TS Eliot Prize Shortlist Readings: Live Stream
Hear the best new poetry coming out of the UK and Ireland in a live-streamed event hosted by Ian McMillan, with readings by the ten poets shortlisted for this year’s prize.

The heart-and-mind-expanding opener of the literary year, the TS Eliot Prize Readings are hosted by poet and broadcaster Ian McMillan.
