“I’ve absolutely loved reading these new poets. On the go, in the bath, anywhere I could steal a moment. Their poems are so bold, so brilliant and every time I come back to them I find more to love; new approaches and fresh ways in, voices I hadn’t experienced before now, and inventive ways of experimenting with poems. The originality of each lingered long after I’d read them. I absolutely cannot wait for readers to be able to also experience the poems I’ve been so lucky to meet on the page.”
