- The Abandoned Settlements is Sheard’s third full collection with Jonathan Cape, containing forty-four new poems. It examines literal and emotional archaeology as a function of place. Drawing on research trips to Hamburg and the Baltic Coast, and an intensive three-year period of drafting and redrafting, it was a Poetry Book Society Choice (2017), an accolade awarded to only four books each year, and was shortlisted for the 2017 T.S. Eliot Prize, often referred to as “the most coveted award in poetry.” As a result, Sheard performed work from the collection to an audience of 2,500 at the Festival Hall, Southbank.
