Poetry Book Society

The PBS has just re-launched its free student membership, which is open to all full-time UK higher education students, who can enroll by emailing or sending their proof of student identity to us. Students can join online and contact will be via email. Once they have enrolled and logged in, student members will be able to view the online version of the Bulletin, our quarterly review of the best new poetry, in the restricted members' area. They can also order books and receive their 25% members' discount.

The first PBS Student Poetry Competition is now open! As far as we know, it's the only national poetry competition for students. It is only open to PBS student members, and the closing date is 5th December 2012. George Szirtes will judge the competition and first prize will be £100 cash and a year's full PBS membership, with four Highly Commended entries also getting a year's PBS full membership.
