POETRY
The Guardian Weekly

Sarah Hesketh's 2016 is a fabulous example: it takes 12 interviews with a variety of anonymous individuals about the events of that year and presents fragments of the transcripts as prose poems.
The cumulative effect of these voices is haunting and full of pathos, as "they vote for whoever, and their life stays exactly the same".
