Canadian poet Karen Solie has been awarded the 2025 TS Eliot Prize for her sixth collection, Wellwater, a profound exploration of ecological destruction, per theguardian.com. Solie was announced as the winner at a ceremony at London’s Wallace Collection on Monday evening. She receives a £25,000 jackpot from the TS Eliot Foundation. This latest accolade follows her success in October, where Wellwater co-won the Forward Prize for Best Collection. Solie, who was previously nominated for the prize in 2019 for The Caiplie Caves, currently divides her time between Canada and the University of St Andrews, where she teaches poetry.
