Colette Bryce

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Colette Bryce (born 1970) is a critically-acclaimed poet from Derry, Northern Ireland.

Bryce was educated at St Mary's, Twickenham. She currently lives in London.

Her first published work was included in the 1995 volume Anvil New Poets, and that year she also won an Eric Gregory Award.

Her poetry has appeared in Out of Fashion , an anthology of poetry edited by Carol Ann Duffy, as well as in the Bloodaxe Anthology of Irish Poetry (Bloodaxe), Forward Book of Poetry 2003 (Forward) and Hand in Hand (Faber)

The Heel of Bernadette became Bryce's first collection of poetry, in 2000, and published by Picador. It garned widespread acclaim from British literary circles, and was given the Aldeburgh Poetry Festival Prize for Best First Collection.

In 2004 Bryce won the national poetry competition for her poem 'The Full Indian Rope Trick', which became the title-poem of her second collection, of the same name. This collection was released again by Picador, that year.

Bryce is also an North East Literary Fellow at the Newcastle University School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics. She is a former writer in residence at the University of Dundee.
