Forward Book of Poetry

The Forward Book of Poetry contains a selection of the very best contemporary poetry published in Britain and the Republic of Ireland over the year, including the winning entries to the Forward Poetry Prizes.

A distinguished panel of judges - Sir Peter Stothard, Daisy Goodwin, Beth Orton, Vona Groarke and Connie Bensley - has chosen more than sixty poems for this anthology.

Both for lovers of poetry and first-time readers, The Forward Book of Poetry, with a foreword by Sir Peter Stothard, offers an insight into the work of our finest contemporary poets.
