Planet-plunder poems win prestigious prize


English poet David Harsent wins the prestigious T.S. Eliot Prize for Poetry for his collection that he says is inspired by “the depredation of the planet”.

Harsent, 72, wins the prize in the 50th anniversary year of the death of the American-born Eliot, often ranked as the best modernist poet of the 20th century for works such as The Waste Land and The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.
