Famous for a day...

The press coverage of this year's TS Eliot Prize has been enormous and gratifying. Winner Jen Hadfield submitted to a gruelling round of interviews and photocalls, and here we choose some of our favourites:

Judge Tobias Hill on why Nigh-No-Place won

The Times' Luke Leitch on 'a jaunty voice from the isles'

John Walsh on the Readings and award ceremony

Toe Today Programme's recordings of the shortlisted poets

The T S Eliot Prize 2008

The TS Eliot Prize goes from strength to strength, with this year's Readings at the Southbank's Queen Elizabeth Hall garnering the biggest audience for contemporary poetry in recent times. A recording of the event will soon be appearing on our website.
