pilot

We are pleased to announce that we have embarked on an exciting project where we will be publishing eighteen poets under 30 over the next three years

Roddy Lumsden will be working with the selected poets as editor adding his vast experience to the task of helping these young poets develop their work and to publish their first volume of poetry. The project has attracted Arts Council funding for which we are grateful

The first pamphlets under our pilot series wereAbi Curtis - humbug & Adam O'Riordan - queen of the cotton cities, and we have now added to those with Camellia Stafford - another pretty colour, another break for air & Gareth Jones - weekend millionnaires. Jay Bernard's - your sign is cuckoo, girl

& Miriam Gamble - this man's town and John McCullough - the lives of ghosts & Retta Bowen - the ornamental world.

In July we wil lbe publishing pamphlets from Kate Potts & Vidyan Ravinthiran.

& we are pleased to anounce that the Poetry Book Society pamphlet choice Summer 2008 is Jay Bernard's your sign is cuckoo girl...
