Esther Morgan Readings
Esther Morgan's fourth collection The Wound Register, published by Bloodaxe in March 2018, was shortlisted for the poetry category of the 2018 East Anglian Book Awards. It was runner-up for the 2019 New Angle Prize for Literature. Esther gave readings from the collection at King's Lynn Poetry Festival in September 2018, and at Poetry in Aldeburgh and Woodstock Poetry Festival in November 2018. Her new collection What to Look for in Spring is published in May 2027.
Esther Morgan received an Eric Gregory Award in 1998, and her first collection, Beyond Calling Distance, was published by Bloodaxe in 2001. It won the Aldeburgh First Collection Prize and was shortlisted for the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize. Her second collection, The Silence Living in Houses (2005), was largely inspired by her time caretaking a run-down Edwardian house in Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. In 2010 she won the Bridport Poetry Prize for her poem ‘This Morning’, included in her third collection Grace (2011), a Poetry Book Society Recommendation, which was shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Prize.
