"I spent years waiting for someone else to make me a writer. Against the advice of many, I was pursuing a risky path, so I wanted a mentor, someone to show me how to do it right. I wanted to be transformed." @gustav_parker @tseliotprize Writers' Notes: ow.ly/f9Ji50UiBtX

Gustav Parker Hibbett (@gustav_parker) on High Jump as Icarus Story: "Language always felt like it was made for people other than me, made to hold other viewpoints better than it held mine." Read more in their @tseliotprize Writers’ Notes: ow.ly/NenA50UiBsG #Poetry

"It is easy to feel outnumbered, drowned out, disempowered. In pushing back against this, a marginalised writer’s language must become its own critical mass, capable of holding itself up, justifying itself." @gustav_parker @tseliotprize Writers' Notes: ow.ly/Tfo350UiBtc

"Finding my poetic compass wasn’t about shutting every single voice out; it was about figuring out which voices I wanted to listen to." @gustav_parker @tseliotprize Writers' Notes, read here: ow.ly/hJIE50UiBtS

On finding a voice: "A budding writer needs to create a space for themself where they can experiment, try on different pieces without fear of failing. For me, this kind of trust was critical. " @gustav_parker @tseliotprize Writers' Notes, read here: ow.ly/81l550UiBuj
