This anthology of anthologies draws on the ten Forward Books of Poetry published to accompany the prizes between 2001 and 2010. It is the perfect introduction to a wide range of contemporary poetry: works that speak of violence, danger and fear, of love and all that opposes love, in forms of language broken and reshaped by the need to communicate what it is to be alive now, here.
These annual anthologies of the poems in the running for the Forward Prizes remain the best way of encountering the richness that new poetry has to offer. (Daily Telegraph).
