      LETTER FROM THE PBS

      This season’s Bulletin embodies much of what we have tried to achieve over the last three years of running the PBS – striving to present to you the best of contemporary poetry, with insightful reviews and commentary. Behind the scenes, much effort has gone into ensuring the PBS welcomes all poetry publishers to submit work to our PBS selectors. So we are delighted this season’s Choice, Juana Adcock is a lesser known poet published by a brand new publishing company Blue Diode Press. Here’s hoping the same critical success follows on from her PBS selection as with many of our other Choices.

      It’s a diverse selection this winter, collections from new poets, established poets, neglected poets, we have them all! As ever, we love to hear your thoughts, both positive and constructive, so please do let us know what you think of the selections, your membership, or anything else poetry-related either through our social media channels, over email or phone – we genuinely love to hear from you.

      Thanks to everyone who came to our National Poetry Day celebrations at the wonderful Blackwell’s in Oxford; Mary Jean Chan and Anthony Anaxagorou gave stunning performances. Our next event is a Translation Conference, taking place in Norwich on 30th November, tickets are available through our website, so please do come along.
