From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Colette Bryce (born 1970) is a critically-acclaimed poet from Derry, Northern Ireland.
Bryce was educated at St Mary's, Twickenham.
Her first published work was included in the 1995 volume Anvil New Poets, and that year she also won an Eric Gregory Award.
The Heel of Bernadette became Bryce's first collection of poetry, in 2000, and published by Picador. It garned widespread acclaim from British literary circles, and was given the Aldeburgh Poetry Festival Prize for Best First Collection.
In 2004 Bryce won the national poetry competition for her poem 'The Full Indian Rope Trick', which became the title-poem of her second collection, of the same name. This collection was released again by Picador, that year.
