A lovely hosting job last night, celebrating so many brilliant translators and editors! Thank you to everyone who came along or watched on the livestream #TranslationPrizes

I loved doing this event, and now it's online for you to watch back!

[T. S. Eliot Prize @tseliotprize]

Jason accepted the prize by reading from his book, and by speaking against the war in Gaza, which has preoccupied him and many of us over these last few months.

[Robyn Law she/her @robynlaw]

Was brilliant to be at this event last night, especially to hear Jason Allen-Paisant read a poem about his mother's voice, which made me quite emotional. Massive congrats to him, and also to all the shortlisted poets.

[T. S. Eliot Prize @tseliotprize]

The winner of the T. S. Eliot Prize 2023 is Jason Allen-Paisant, for Self-Portrait as Othello!

[Medical Aid for Palestinians @MedicalAidPal]

The family of Gboyega Odubanjo have released a statement (in thread below) and also created a page to accept contributions to honour him in a new Foundation and cover final arrangements. https://t.co/onUoSRDY38

[Robyn Law she/her @robynlaw]

Gboyega Odubanjo won an Eric Gregory Award back in 2021 and as a result I was lucky enough to moderate an event with him and other winners. He is reading from 32:00 onwards, for anyone wanting to hear his voice today. https://t.co/dqrSBltpCe
