Welcome to our weekly poem service

Sign up on this page to receive a poem in your inbox each Monday.

Every week we send out a new poem from one of the publishers with whom we’re collaborating. Thanks to their generosity, we have a very varied range of poems from across the British Isles and beyond: from new poets and established names, from sections of sequences to works in translation.

Each new poem – and past weekly poems – can also be read by clicking on the Weekly Poem option in the menu to the left.

The presses participating in the initiative during the 2011-2012 academic year are: Anvil Press, Arc Publications, BOA Editions, Enitharmon Press, Oversteps Books, and Shearsman Books.

We hope you will enjoy reading the poems and that you will be encouraged to support these presses by clicking on the links above to visit their websites, signing up to their mailing lists, and buying their books. You can find out a little more about these publishers on our Links page.

You will also find details of the poems, poets, and publishers on our social media pages, so if you are a member of Facebook, ‘like’ us here and follow us on Twitter at this link.
