Jay Bernard FRSL (born 1988) is a British writer, artist, film programmer, and activist from London, UK. Bernard has been a programmer at BFI Flare since 2014[1] and co-editor of Oxford Poetry,[2] and their fiction, non-fiction, and art has been published in many national and international magazines and newspapers.

Career

Bernard was named a Foyle Young Poet of the Year in 2005.[3] Bernard was selected for The Complete Works programme in 2014.

Bernard's pamphlet The Red and Yellow Nothing was shortlisted for the Ted Hughes Award in 2016. The collection tells the story of Sir Morien, a black knight at Camelot.[4] The reviewer for The London Magazine wrote: "Jay Bernard has created a rare and beautiful thing. Part contemporary verse drama, part mythic retelling ... Employing metrical ballads and concrete poems with equal vigour, Bernard takes us on a visual and allusive journey to test the imagination, thus putting the poet's resources of sight and sound to full use ... reading The Red and Yellow Nothing brings continuous surprise."[5]

Bernard won the 2017 Ted Hughes Award for their multimedia performance work Surge: Side A,[6] that includes the film Something Said, inspired by the 1981 New Cross house fire[7][8][9] and archives held at the George Padmore Institute, where they were the first poet-in-residence.[10] The 2014 novel A Brief History of Seven Killings by Marlon James, and Twilight City, a film produced by Reece Auguiste for the Black Audio Film Collective in 1989, also inspired the work.[11]

Bernard was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 2018.[12][13]

Bernard's poetry collection Surge, published by Chatto & Windus, was shortlisted for the T. S. Eliot Prize in 2019,[14] for the 2019 Costa Book Award for Poetry,[15] for the 2020 Dylan Thomas Prize,[16] and the 2020 RSL Ondaatje Prize.[17] It won the 2020 Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award.[18]

Personal life

Bernard grew up in London,[11] and read English at Oxford University.[19] Bernard identifies as "black, queer", and uses the pronouns "they/them".[11] Their Jamaican-born grandmother, Gee Bernard, was the first black councillor in Croydon and the first black member of the Inner London Education Authority (ILEA).[20][21][22]
