Longlisted for the Laurel Prize 2024
I am delighted that judges Mona Arshi, Caroline Bird and Kwame Dawes have deemed ' East of the Sun, West of the Moon ' published by Seren Books in February this year to be in the longtlist for the Laurel Prize 2024 . I am truly grateful to be among such a cherished group of poets and wishing the eventual winners all the best. I thank my writing mentor Zoe Bigley, everyone at my publisher Seren Books ( https://www.serenbooks.com/2024/09/taz-rahman-longlisted-for-the-laurel-prize-2024/ ) and organisations such as Literature Wales and the Books Council of Wales to have supported me in various guises to make this book possible.
