Yesterday at Ye Houses of Parliament my former PhD student and colleague Dr Peter Swallow MP hosted the launch of my book with Durham colleague Prof Arlene Holmes-Henderson promoting Classical Civilisation and Ancient History in secondary education. It was a joy.

My tribute to Tony Harrison last week was to read his great, last, valedictory poem ���Polygons’ at Delphi, where he started it.

Very honoured that Facing down the Furies is on this prestigious list. If I were to win it I could fund another year or two prison teaching. We live in hope
