The Laurel Prize is awarded annually for the best published collection of environmental or nature poetry. This year’s longlist was judged by Poet Laureate Simon Armitage alongside Moniza Alvi and Robert Macfarlane.<\/p>\n

Director of Penned in the Margins, Tom Chivers, said, ‘This is an important new prize whose creation reflects exciting new waves in poetry concerning the natural world and our fractured relationship with it. Elizabeth-Jane Burnett and Meryl Pugh speak with contrasting voices – one immersed in the delight and challenge of wild swimming, the other exploring a new kind of urban pastoral – but they are unified by profound ecological awareness and a forensic approach to language-making.<\/p>\n

‘Through our publishing programme, as well as multi-arts projects such as Edgelandia<\/a>, Penned in the Margins is committed to making work that celebrates the natural world and speaks to the urgent crises of environmental destruction and man-made climate change.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Elizabeth-Jane Burnett’s Swims<\/i> and Meryl Pugh’s Natural Phenomena<\/i> have been chosen by the judges as two of their 11 longlisted collections for the inaugural 2020 Prize.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[225,237,3],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19527"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19527"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19527\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19547,"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19527\/revisions\/19547"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19527"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19527"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19527"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
