      LETTER FROM THE PBS

      We hope you like our bold new-look cover for this Winter Bulletin. The New Horizons cover series is now complete and we have moved on to explore contemporary photography starting with the internationally renowned Edgar Martins. If you would like to buy any missed Bulletins to complete your collection, or give them as a gift-set this Christmas, please do get in touch.

      We are delighted to announce Raymond Antrobus as this season’s selected Choice poet. He writes, This is a book the child I was needed to see, and the adult I am needed to write. We feel it is the book everyone needs to read.

      We’re proud to see the selections this season coming from a mix of publishing houses, including a broad range of independent publishers from across the UK. This reflects our mission to encourage all publishers regardless of size or location to submit their poets’ work, enabling our selectors to pick from the broadest possible range of contemporary poetry.

      The PBS and Mslexia competition winners will be announced just after this Bulletin goes to press – please keep your eyes on our newsletter
