Originally Published: October 21, 2010

The BBC reports that, along with Annie Freud, Fiona Sampson, Derek Walcott and Simon Armitage, Seamus Heaney is shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot prize for his new book, Human Chain. He has already won the Forward Prize for the book, as well as having won the Eliot Prize a few years back. The only logical conclusion: prizes are in love with Seamus Heaney!
