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 - Michael Donaghy, Peter Stothard, Rosie Millard, Sean O'Brien and Lavinia Greenlaw - 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 Michael Donaghy, offers an insight into the work of our finest contemporary poets.
