The new format of the #WritersPrize is designed to address a thinning out of the UK prize landscape. Literary prizes are vital for authors, to celebrate the enormous achievements of both established and emerging writers and provide a platform and crucial support for their work.

Over the next three weeks we'll be spotlighting all the brilliant 2023 #RathbonesFolioPrize shortlistees. First up is @victoriaadukwei , whose debut collection #Quiet dwells on ideas of black interiority, intimacy and selfhood, with poems that celebrate as fiercely as they mourn.
