Over the past two decades Carcanet's New Poetries anthologies have been discovering the best new poets in English, under the astute and discerning eye of editor Michael Schmidt, and now also Eleanor Crawforth.

Six of the poets from the NEW POETRIES V anthology will be at the shop to read from their new Carcanet collections:

*Dan Burt, author of WE LOOK LIKE THIS

*Oli Hazzard, author of BETWEEN TWO WINDOWS

*Julith Jedamus, author of THE SWERVE

*Evan Jones, author of PARALOGUES

*William Letford, author of BEVEL

*James Womack, author of MISPRINT

As Nicholas Lezard wrote in his review of the anthology: "There's an abundance of poetic talent out there, and people vigilant enough to notice it. Give it a go. You'll like it."
