Seamus Heaney First Collection Poetry Prize Award Night

The Seamus Heaney Centre Poetry Prize is awarded to a writer whose first full collection has been published in the preceding year, by a UK or Ireland-based publisher. The winning writer receives £5,000 and is invited to participate in the Seamus Heaney Centre’s busy calendar of literary events. This year’s judges were Nick Laird, Leontia Flynn, and Karen Solie.
