We are delighted that MSt alumna Theresa Lola has been awarded the Walcott Prize. Honoring the work of St. Lucian Nobel Prize poet Derek Walcott, the prize is offered annually for a book of poetry by a non-US citizen published anywhere in the world. This year’s prize was judged by Ishion Hutchinson.
Theresa’s collection is available to buy here.

We are delighted that former student Chris Barkley has published his debut novel The Man on the Endless Stair, described in the Times as ‘an eerie, deeply atmospheric tale of hidden treasure and trauma.’ A tense and atmospheric Scottish island murder mystery, the book is available from Birlinn and in all good bookshops!
