The £25, 000 Warwick Prize, awarded every two years, is distinct from other literary prizes in that it is open to works of any genre, such as fiction, science, history and poetry. It's the first time ever that it is awarded to a work of poetry.
Professor Ian Sansom, chair of the judges, said it had been a "unanimous decision" to award the prize to Memorial.
Alice will be reading at the Battered Moons event, as part of the Swindon Festival of Poetry, on 5th October 2013, 7:30 pm, at the Arts Centre, Devizes Road, Swindon.
