From With Chris Ofili in The Upper Room: We breathe concrete air, feel brittle sun I read valedictions between your blunt teeth - Rico Craig #poetry #poetryofig #igreads #poetrybook #boneink #ricocraig #anneelderprize #poem #poetrycommunity #london #chrisofili #upperroom

BONE INK winner Anne Elder Poetry Prize 2017. Announcement and Judges Report: Rico Craig has won the prestigious 2017 Anne Elder Poetry Award with a work ‘Bone Ink’ adjudged by Libby Hart and Eileen Chong as exciting and deeply mov- ing. The judges said Rico’s work was a highly original and unflinching voice that traversed the poet’s stomping grounds of Western Sydney and Malaysia, as well as evoking other locations. “The poems within Bone Ink are cinematically vivid explorations of intimacy, brotherhood, violence and fate. Craig crafts all of this with an assured and wild vibrancy. His adept handling of modern working class life is not only brave, but essential reading. What is at the crux of this collection is not disadvantage and struggle, but rather the love and honour of true connection.” #poetry #poetryprize #anneelderprize #boneink #ricocraig
