Jacqueline Saphra's delicious début collection The Kitchen of Lovely Contraptions has been shortlisted for the Aldeburgh First Collection Prize 2011, one of the coolest, best-established and most in-touch poetry prizes in the UK.

The Kitchen of Lovely Contraptions is one of five collections, out of the 74 titles that were submitted, to have reached the shortlist for the prize.  The Poetry Trust has called the five shortlisted poets as 'ones-to-watch' amongst the next generation of UK poets.The other poets to make the shortlist are: Tom Duddy, Nancy Gaffield, Ed Reiss and Rachel Boast.

The winner will be announced at the start of the 23rd Aldeburgh Poetry Festival on Friday 4 November 2011. As huge fans of last year's winner, Christian Campbell, we're chuffed J's in the same company!
