The Poetry Book Society was founded by TS Eliot to share the joy of poetry. We truly believe poetry has the power to transform lives, uplift and inspire. Our members enjoy a year of thoughtful and thought-provoking poetry books, curated by experts and delivered straight to their door, alongside our lively quarterly poetry magazine and 25% off all poetry books on our website. Start your year of poetry today, read deeply and see the world anew.
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.

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.
