The Forward book of poetry 2015

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.

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