Who will win? Who do you WANT to win? And if you’re reading this later - what do you think of the winner?

The Sun-fish by Eiléan Ní Chuilleánain

Continental Shelf by Fred D’Aguiar

Tricky, isn’t it?  I think I’m rooting for either Sharon Olds or Philip Gross. Sharon Olds was really good at the Edinburgh Book Festival last year.
