The Forward Book of Poetry 2014

Resumen del libro

The Forward Book of Poetry brings together the best contemporary poems published in Britain and Ireland over the year, including works by the sixteen poets shortlisted for the 2013 Forward Prizes for Poetry. This year, the book is introduced by Jeanette Winterson, chair of the jury which chose the poems, and includes new poetry by Glyn Maxwell, Jacob Polley, Emily Berry, Michael Symmons Roberts, Hannah Lowe and Sinéad Morrissey, Belfast's first poet laureate. In short, a fantastic anthology which highlights the strength and depth of contemporary poetry. The bold new cover is by Michael Craig-Martin, who shares Winterson's belief that poetry equips us to fight back against the darkness.
