London Poetry Award Nomination Ruth Padel: '[on The Mara Crossing] .. a vertiginous compendium, a prodigy, a book of wonders: it is Montaigne's and Darwin's 21st-century child. "Migration is part of the restless... self-renewing nature of all life, in creative tension between the fixed and the wandering."'

London Poetry Award Nomination Mimi Khalvati: '[on her recent book Child] At its centre she contrasts her own close-range aesthetic with Emily Dickinson's visions of "the dark and deep" - "Depths were never truths I reached. / More, the quiet monotony I never // thought of as monotony / but peace. Nothing I loved more / than making torn things whole.'

London Photography Award Nomination Peter Dench: 'England Uncensored is a laugh out loud warts and all romp through this often badly behaved nation. A comprehensive portrait of the first decade of 21st Century England, it is not an idealised brochure of a green and pleasant land.'

London Photography Award Nomination David Solomons: 'His work relies on his perceptive eye and technical command of an old film camera. He roams the street with an obsessive determination, creating images that reveal the heart of London’s West End at its best and at its worst.'

London Comedy Award Nomination Chris Ramsey: 'A barnstorming finale upends Ramsey's hitherto conventional moan about Twitter, Christmas letters, etc, and confirms one's sense – which accumulates throughout the show – that this young comic has not only precocious technical skills, but something interesting to say.'

London Jazz Award Nomination Phil Robson: '.. harnesses the textural possibilities of an unconventional combination of frontline instruments and subtly marries straight-ahead postbop with earthy, odd time signature grooves is reminiscent of the writing of Dave Holland.'

Greg Tallent · Views 209 · Mar 03 ·

London Jazz Award Nomination Alex Garnett: '[on album Serpent] This music is a personal statement which comes from very deep inside a fine musician. What you see is what you get, rather than concessions to fashion or edginesss.'

London Art Award Nomination Zarina Bhimji: '[Whitechapel Gallery exhibition] Elegiac in mood and very beautiful, the photographs are immaculately composed, with an acute sensitivity to the play of light across rooms and surfaces.'

London Film Award Nomination Carl Tibbetts: 'This is a neat, well-crafted three-hander, making good use of its location; it really is a meaty role for Bell, who lets rip in what might be his most eye-catching part since Billy Elliot.'

London Art Award Nomination Gordon Baldwin: '.. a British studio potter whose vessels, handmade in stoneware or earthenware, speak with sophistication and subtlety the language of modernism, but move you with an intimacy that comes from their domestic scale and humble material.'
