We’re totally thrilled to announce that the debut collection of poems by Claire Trevien, The Shipwrecked House<\/a>, has been longlisted for the Guardian First Book Award 2013 as their readers’ nomination.<\/p>\n

The news is reported in The Guardian<\/a> by Liz Bury, and by trade paper The Bookseller<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Penned in the Margins editor Tom Chivers was quoted as saying:<\/p>\n

Claire will have a cult following in the future. I discovered her while judging a poetry prize and asked her to submit a manuscript which was playful and surreal. Claire is someone who’s able to be quite exploratory with form, but is also very readable.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You can also read the blog by Guardian Books’ Richard Lea<\/a> on the process of finding the readers’ choice. He said:<\/p>\n

Tr\u00e9vien’s subjects range from Cyrano de Bergerac’s defiant “fuck you<\/em> to Death” to Great British Bake-Off tweets, from communion wine to a skit on the death of the author, couched in verses which stretch from a straightforward(ish) sonnet to a fractured riff on the violin and beyond to a disintegration of Antony Gormley’s Another Place<\/em> which evaporates towards nothingness over the space of four pages.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is the second year running that the public has voted in a book of poetry – so it’s continued good news for our little\u00a0 corner of the literary world! The rest of the ten-strong longlist will be announced soon. In the meantime, why not find out what all the fuss is about<\/a> by ordering a copy.<\/p>\n
