Costa Book Prize Winner: Christopher Reid
January 27, 2010
Christopher Reid follows in the footsteps of Douglas Dunn, Ted Hughes and Seamus Heaney by becoming only the fourth poet to win the overall Costa book of the year award with his collection A Scattering. The prize means he picks up, in total, a £30,000 prize and an incalculable increase in readership for a book which has sold less than 1,000 copies.
