Betting On The Forward Prize: Seamus Heaney In Running For First Time

The shortlists for the 19th annual Forward Prize for Poetry has just been published.  One of the most prestigious poetry awards, worth £10,000 to the winner, any nominee is recognised as being amongst the elite of contemporary British poets.  Of the six hopeful competitors there are two from Scotland, two from England and two from Ireland, which may be why online bookmakers Paddy Power are offering betting on the Forward Prize especially since Seamus Heaney is in the running for the first time in his career. 

At 71, Heaney, winner of the Nobel prize for literature in 1995 would be seen as a likely favourite for his collection ,'The Human Chain' , but at 4/1 he is only fourth in the betting.  The candidates are selected by a panel of judges consisting of chairman Ruth Padel, poet and columnist Hugo Williams, performance poet Dreadlockalien, journalist and broadcaster Alex Clark, and actress and director Fiona Shaw who have  made it known that there was a proliferation of talent to choose from this year.
