JUDGE - OPEN COMPETITION - MARTYN CRUCEFIX
Martyn Crucefix has won numerous prizes including an Eric Gregory award and a Hawthornden Fellowship. His seven poetry collections include Hurt (Enitharmon, 2010) “an exceptional ear, superbly intelligent, urgent, heartfelt, controlled and masterful.” (Kathryn Maris, Poetry London). His translation of Rilke’s Duino Elegies (Enitharmon, 2006) was shortlisted for the Popescu Prize for European Poetry Translation and hailed as “unlikely to be bettered for very many years” (Magma). His translation of Rilke’s The Sonnets to Orpheus appeared from Enitharmon in 2012. Recent collections include The Time We Turned (Shearsman, 2014), A Hatfield Mass (Worple Press, 2014). Daodejing – a new version in English will be published in 2016. For more visit http://www.martyncrucefix.com
