Last week, we were pleased to announce our 2027 Pavilion Poetry collections. Today we're sharing a little more about Martha Sprackland's new title, Question to the Creatures. This is a formidable second collection of doubt, darkness and attention, illuminated by torchlight, candleglow and wildfire.

Black background with yellow text reading 'Question to the Creatures interrogates confinement, doubt and attention, drawing on the Spanish mystic John of the Cross, whose dark night of the soul, for the poet–translator, comes in the small hours of new motherhood. Full of curiosity and attention, illuminated by torchlight, candleglow and wildfire; a formidable second collection.' To the right is the cover image of Martha Sprackland's Question to the Creatures.

We're thrilled to share that two of our 2026 Pavillion Poets have had poems Highly Commended by the judges of the @forwardprizes.bsky.social. Huge congratulations to Natalie Linh Bolderston and Linda Anderson - it's great to see their award-winning poems in the Forward Prize 2026 anthology!
