New award for an old winner

The Nobel Prize for Literature winner of 1992, Derek Walcott, has won the TS Eliot prize for poetry with his 2010 collection of poems entitled White Egrets.

Derek Walcott, aged 81, beat Seamus Heaney who was also shortlisted for the prize, and indeed is a former winner of the TS Eliot prize. Simon Armitage was also amongst the ten shortlisted poets.
