#WBOTY20: Poetry Award Winner – Zoë Skoulding

Zoë Skoulding
Footnotes to Water
Seren
The winner of the Poetry Award is Zoë Skoulding with her collection Footnotes to Water (Seren), in which she follows two forgotten rivers, the Adda in Bangor and the Bièvre in Paris, and tracks the literary hoofprints of sheep through Welsh mountains. In these journeys she reveals urban and rural locales as sites of lively interconnection, exploring the ways in which place shapes and is shaped by language.
