WINTER 2025 SELECTIONS
I have been a member of the Poetry Book Society for over ten years, and I am always overjoyed to receive the PBS choice in the post each quarter. It always feels like Christmas, when the most dynamic and hottest poetry collections arrive through my letterbox... I believe the Poetry Book Society is necessary to the ecology of poetry sector.

Forward Prize winning poet
As someone always on the look-out for the most exciting new poetry, I turn to the Poetry Book Society’s recommendations... I’ve made some treasured discoveries over the last couple of years. For people who want to keep abreast of the best poetry being written today, I can’t recommend a PBS Membership enough.
