A Hong Kong-born poet, who judges say will change British poetry, has won the prestigious¹ TS Eliot poetry prize.

一位在香港出生的诗人获得享誉盛名的艾略特诗歌奖，评委称她将改变英国诗歌。

Sarah Howe was awarded the 20,000 pound prize for Loop of Jade², which explores her dual³ British and Chinese heritage through her journeys to Hong Kong to discover her roots.

It's the first debut⁴ collection to scoop⁵ the award.

The 33 year old poet triumphs over some of poetry's biggest names, including Mark Doty, a previous winner of the award, and the National Book Award for Poetry.

Howe, whose mother is Chinese and father English, moved to England as a child.

She has made a name for herself with poetry that grapples with the problems of cultural identity and representation.

She previously⁶ won the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award for 2015, while scientist Stephen Hawking⁷ read her poem 'Relativity' for Britain's National Poetry Day.

She has also won the Eric Gregory Award, for her pamphlet A Certain Chinese Encyclopaedia⁸.

The TS Eliot prize for poetry was inaugurated by the Poetry Book Society in 1993 in celebration of the society's 40th birthday, and in honor of its founding poet, T. S. Eliot.
