WINNER OF THE INAUGURAL T.S.ELIOT PRIZE —
BEST COLLECTION OF NEW POETRY PUBLISHED IN 1993.
Glyn Maxwell in Fortnight, said, 'The outer shell of Carson's work
in First Language, shimmering, wayward, fanciful, masks his clear
and sober purpose, to revivify in a world of cant, to repaint a spectrum
across a sky of two colours.'
Gerald Dawe of The Irish Times, wrote that, 'Ciaran Carson's First
Language is a spectacular collection . . . If you buy only one poetry
book . . . this year, make sure it's this one'.
