The Carcanet YouTube Channel is now live. For video recordings of readings by our poets, talks, lectures and snippets from our launch events, please visit the channel; for updates, please subscribe.

This is a free resource which we hope to prove useful and interesting. If you enjoy a video, why not spread the word by clicking the 'like' button, adding it to your 'favourites' list, or share the video online? Readings by Mimi Khalvati and Carola Luther are also available, and we will release more recordings periodically.

This is one of our most popular videos: a recording of the Stirling-based poet William Letford performing his poem 'There's hunners o burds on the roofs'. William's first full collection will be available from Carcanet later this year.




William Letford, Helen Tookey and Rory Waterman read poetry at the Manchester launch of the bestselling anthology, New Poetries V in November 2011. All three poets read their own work and that of other contributors; they were joined by the poet JT Welsch and Manchester University Press editor Matthew Frost, whose recordings are also available.

New Poetries V and all other titles are available with 20% off and free UK postage and packing in the Carcanet January sale.
