Jorie Graham has won the Forward prize.

In my opinion this completely smashes apart the Us/Them structure of  
the public face of poetry.

(except that Celan is published by Penguin and there is a local  
tradition of accepting as foreign what you disallow as native)

(which means that no British poet who wrote in a manner resembling  
Jorie Graham's would be allowed to come within 2000 Km of the Forward  
prize.)
