Different Brian Turner !

Oops. The story from the Otago Daily Times that I ran earlier about Otago poet Brian Turner being shortlisted for the TS Eliot Prize has proven to be incorrect. In fact poet Brian Turner is shortlisted but it is not "our" Brian Turner rather a UK-based poet by the same name.
My apologies for the confusion caused.

Here is the shortlist for the 2010 T S Eliot Prize for Poetry :
* Seeing Stars - Simon Armitage (Faber)

* The Mirabelles - Annie Freud (Picador)

* You - John Haynes (Seren)

* Human Chain - Seamus Heaney (Faber)

* What the Water Gave Me - Pascale Petit (Seren)

* The Wrecking Light - Robin Robertson (Picador)

* Rough Music - Fiona Sampson (Carcanet)

* Phantom Noise - Brian Turner (Bloodaxe)

* White Egrets - Derek Walcott (Faber)

* New Light for the Old Dark - Sam Willetts (Jonathan Cape)
