'In a year of brilliantly themed collections, the judges were unanimous in choosing Sinaad Morrissey's Parallax as the winner. Politically, historically and personally ambitious, expressed in beautifully turned language, her book is as many-angled and any-angled as its title suggests.'Ian Duhig, Chair of the 2013 T S Eliot Prize Judges
