Anvil New Poets 3

The Anvil New Poets series has built up a reputation for introducing ground-breaking work from the best new poets. The first two volumes featured the first work published in book form by poets such as Kate Clanchy, Colette Bryce, Alice Oswald, Richard Price and Mimi Khalvati. For the third in the series, Ironside and Lumsden present ten poets who look set to emulate the acclaim of their predecessors. Picked from the several hundred manuscripts considered over a period of over six months, these are the poets who will be producing the best new collections of the next ten years. This is your chance to read them now.
