A bit more information: they are published in the newsletter at a schedule of one per week in the lead up to the end of the year, as our weekly newsletter focuses on each book in turn, and then each is also available on the website after the newsletter goes out.

Michael Sims, Director of the T. S. Eliot Prize, has reminded me that I have been writing about the shortlisted books since 2015 - that's 120 collections! Now that this archive is accessible on the website (with all of the 2015 reviews newly added this month, he has twisted my arm to share a few thoughts about reviewing for the Prize. Spoiler alert: I think that shortlists invite us to leave our algorithmic echo chambers which, in 2026, sounds as much like a political challenge as it does an aesthetic one.
