Poetry's biggest prize The £15,000 prize money is donated by TS Eliot's widow Valerie
The winner of the TS Eliot prize for poetry will be announced on Monday.
Inaugurated in 1993 to celebrate the Poetry Book Society's 40th birthday and honour its founding poet, the award comes with a £15,000 cash prize, the largest in British poetry.
The Eliot prize is an important fixture on the literary calendar, and with previous winners including Ted Hughes, Carol Ann Duffy and Seamus Heaney, chair of the judging panel Andrew Motion has reason to describe it as "the most prestigious poetry prize in the country".
