Poet Joelle Taylor was awarded the 2021 T.S. Eliot Prize for her collection C+nto & Othered Poems at a ceremony at London's Royal Festival Hall on Sunday night. Judges Glyn Maxwell, Caroline Bird and Zaffar Kunial described the book as "a blazing book of rage and light, a grand opera of liberation from the shadows of indifference and oppression". Taylor is the 29th winner of the prestigious £25,000 prize for the best new poetry collection published in the UK & Ireland.
