Black Cat Bone (poetry collection)

Black Cat Bone is a poetry collection by John Burnside, published in 2011 by Jonathan Cape. It was the Scottish poet's 11th collection.

According to Fiona Sampson writing in The Independent: "'Black Cat Bone distils its dreamscapes into four sections. The opening long poem, 'The Fair Chase', is followed by 'Everafter', an exploration of romantic love and its repeated disappointment; 'Black Cat Bone', haunted by images of a murdered girl; and 'Faith', a series of poems broadly concerned with keeping faith with the human condition'."

Black Cat Bone won the Forward Prize for Best Poetry Collection in 2011, a £10,000 award; and the T. S. Eliot Prize in 2012, a £15,000 award. , Burnside was one of only three poets to have won both prizes for the same book.
