TOM RAWORTH RECEIVES MAJOR AWARD
Friday, 15 Jun 2007
|
Carcanet poet Tom Raworth was awarded Italy’s prestigious Antonio Delfini Poetry Prize for lifetime’s achievement in a ceremony in Modena on 23 June. An illustrated limited edition of Raworth poems has been published to mark the occasion. The only previous Anglophone poet to receive the prize is Robert Creeley. Raworth is associated with the British Poetry Revival, a modernist-inspired reaction to the Movement's approach to British poetry, led by Roy Fisher, Gael Turnbull, Carcanet's Edwin Morgan, Christopher Logue and others during the 1960s and 1970s. Born in London in 1938, the poet and visual artist has published over forty books of poetry and prose during his career.
