For two decades New Poetries has been a proving-ground for new poets in English from around the world. Here readers first encountered, in generous selections, work by, among others, Caroline Bird, Stephen Burt, Sophie Hannah, Emma Jones, Nicole Krauss, Patrick McGuinness, Kei Miller, David Morley, Sinéad Morrissey, Togara Muzanenhamo, Matthew Welton and Jane Yeh. Published from Manchester, the anthologies overlook national borders, instead providing vistas across a worldscape.
This fifth New Poetries anthology presents twenty-two new writers, organised in such a way as to highlight their variety, the ‘irreducible plural’ of poetry today. It includes work by poets ranging from their early twenties to their late sixties, and harking from Canada, England, Iran, New Zealand, the Philippines, Scotland, Singapore, South Africa, the United States and Wales. Their forms and themes are wonderfully various. What they have in common is intelligence, curiosity and a willingness to take risks. This book’s surprises remain fresh, the writers promise major things. List of Contributors: Sheri Benning, Tara Bergin, Dan Burt, John Dennison, Will Eaves, Mina Gorji, Oli Hazzard, Julith Jedamus, Evan Jones, Katharine Kilalea, Henry King, Janet Kofi-Tsekpo, Jee Leong Koh, William Letford, Vincenz Serrano, Helen Tookey, Lucy Tunstall, Arto Vaun, David Ward, Rory Waterman, James Womack, Alex Wylie Visit the New Poetries Blog for news, notes and discussion in the lead-up to the publication of New Poetries V.

Praise for Michael Schmidt
'Its pleasures are longer term ones: as you return to it and re-read its substantial selections, you come to appreciate how and what each contributor is working on.'
Jane Routh, The North 66 '...this is the joy of New Poetries VIII: time and again you discover refreshing and compelling new styles and subjects' Jake Morris-Campbell, The Poetry School '...probably the most informative and entertaining poetry journal in the English-speaking world.' John Ashbery 'The most engaged, challenging and serious-minded of all the UK's poetry magazines.' Simon Armitage 'It has attempted to take poetry out of the backwaters of intellectual life and to find in it again the crucial index of cultural health.' Cairns Craig, Times Literary Supplement
