News at Eleven: According to the chair of judges,

broadcaster Andrew Neil, "a clear majority" of the jurors had voted for [Jo Shapcott's] Of Mutability, praising it as "very special and unusual and uplifting".

They felt that the book was "so accessible, and the subject matter was so relevant that if any poetry book could capture the spirit of life in 2011, this would be it".
