The Guardian has published a glowing review of the latest New Poetries Anthology. Nicholas Lezard observes that the editors (Michael Schmidt with Eleanor Crawforth) 'know their onions when it comes to poetry' and highlights Schmidt's introduction to the new volume. Lezard finds 'something for all tastes' in the collection, but he is particularly impressed by roofer-poet, William Letford, whose poem 'It's aboot the labour' is quoted in the article.
