Description

Leading northern literature organisation Wordlife is releasing a brand new creative writing anthology featuring the best writers from the local and national literature scene. The anthology includes writers such as the Guardian First Book Prize winner poet Andrew McMillan and the T.S Eliot nominated poet Helen Mort. Other notable poets included in the anthology are Hollie McNish whose poems have been seen by millions online, and the poet Lemn Sissay MBE. There are over 50 writers included in the anthology crossing the span of contemporary poets and authors across the UK. Funded by Arts Council England, the book is being launched with five events in Manchester, Sheffield, Wakefield, Lincoln and London.

Leading poet and artistic director of the Barbican Young Poets Jacob Sam La Rose called it, 'A celebration of the non-partisan, beating heart of poetry and the different shapes it can take. A brilliant and vital body of work that barks, bites, whispers and sings in all the right places’. Editor Joe Kriss said, 'Personally I've always enjoyed work from both more traditional poetic traditions and those from spoken word. This anthology is a collection of the best work from both genres, there's some longer narrative poems in there, but there's also villanelles, sonnets, concrete poetry and alternative literature.' The book will be available from the 15th September on www.wordlife.co.uk
