      Nov 8, 2021

      Some authors write for escape. I wrote poetry during the pandemic to process, to meditate on the world that was, to try and make some sense of things as a writer, and hopefully to offer some peace to at least one reader, somewhere, somehow. When Covi

      Flood The World With Beauty

      LETTER FROM THE PBS

      It feels so strange writing this Autumn letter at the start of the summer holidays, but such is the nature of the membership and our selections! I am trying hard not to comment on the weather.

      We hope you enjoy this season’s selections. A mix of well-established and newer poets, each with something new to say and for us readers to contemplate. Sandeep Parmar uses Goethe’s Faust legend as her primary source for the Choice selection, reflecting on the act of striving, she explains more in her commentary.

      It’s farewell and thank you to the wonderful Nick Makoha as pamphlet selector and a warm welcome to Arji Manuelpillai who has joined Nina Mingya Powles in this Autumn selection.

      We have a few key live events already programmed for our northern members and friends (or those who are looking for an excuse to travel to our beautiful region). On the 6th of October we’ll co-host an in-person PBS Showcase at Newcastle University in partnership with NCLA featuring Don Paterson and Alycia Pirmohamed and on the 16th of October we’ll be at Durham Book Festival presenting Degna Stone, Don Paterson and Zaffar Kunial.

      If you haven’t already purchased the Forward Prize shortlisted titles, please don’t miss our Forward Prize Bundle Offer. Members can enjoy all ten shortlisted books for only £82.50, including free UK postage. We wish all the shortlisted poets the best of luck!
