Description

The Forward Book of Poetry showcases a selection of the best contemporary poetry published in the British Isles over the last year, including the winners of 2014's prestigious Forward Poetry Prizes. It is introduced by Jeremy Paxman, chairman of the 2014 Forward Prizes judges. Their final recommendations give a strong sense of the variety, vitality and wit present in poetry today, making this anthology - the 23rd in an annual series - valuable to both first-time poetry readers and those keen to find more new poetry to enjoy.

This special e-book edition of the anthology features exclusive interviews with all sixteen poets shortlisted for the prizes, including Hugo Williams, Louise Glück, John Burnside, and winners, Kei Miller and Liz Berry. The edition also includes an article on the judging process by Vahni Capildeo.

If you buy only one poetry book this year, make sure this is it.
