2019 FORWARD PRIZES SUMMER BOOK CLUB BUNDLE

This year the Poetry Book Society and the Forward Prizes are partnering to offer book groups across the country a huge discount on all ten fantastic poetry collections shortlisted for the Forward Prizes for Poetry, so you have them in time for the Forward Prizes ceremony at the Southbank Centre on Sunday 20th October.

PBS Members can get their hands on the 2019 Forward Prizes Summer Book Club Bundle containing the ten books for only £60 (plus shipping), or £80 (plus shipping) for non members, that's up to 39% off the RRP! Please note your 25% PBS Member discount will be automatically added at the checkout. And why not pre-order the Forward Book of Poetry 2020 at the same time? This annual must-read gives an excellent overview of the year’s poetry crop and features work by this year’s 50 highly commended poets.

The Forward Arts Foundation has created invaluable book group reading notes, just check out their website here. We'll also include a printed copy of the reading notes in your parcel: members can download them from the PBS Members Area.
