| Adam Foulds (b. 1974) is a poet and novelist who writes with striking range and ambition. His verse novella, The Broken Word, won the Costa Poetry Prize in 2008, and is read, in full, in this recording.
The challenging form of the verse novella, rarely encountered in recent contemporary British poetry, suits Foulds' pared-down lyricism. Amongst the many endorsements for this distinctive debut, perhaps the most apposite is Christopher Reid's observation that "Adam Foulds shows triumphantly what a verse narrative can do that a prose one can't." This complete reading of The Broken Word, recorded in 2008, is a fine example of Adam's thoughtfully-paced delivery of his poems.
