Today we post an update to our Reading Resources for Young Poets page.

Here are some of the links to sites we have added. You can find them all by scrolling down to the bottom of the page at the link above.

Check out the poem-a-day feature at the Academy of American Poets, who have been posting posting poems by Black poets throughout the summer.

Another rich resource of contemporary poetry is Anthony Wilson’s online anthology (also a Bloodaxe book), Lifesaving Poems, featuring over 150 poets of all styles and voices.

 

 

You can find a fascinating and deeply rich resource of poetry in translation at the Poetry Translation Centre. Check our their growing list of poets here.Poems

Finally, take a look at the Poetry Business’ blog pages here. It includes news, competition updates, interviews and much more. Check out their New Poets Prize in particular.

 

Wishing you all a happy summer and good reading!

Sue, Anthony and Richard

I am a lecturer, poet and writing tutor. I work in teacher and medical education at the University of Exeter. My anthology Lifesaving Poems was published by Bloodaxe Books in 2015. In 2012 I published Riddance (Worple Press), a collection of poems, and Love for Now (Impress Books), a memoir, about my experience of cancer. The Wind and the Rain, my sixth collection of poems, is available now from Blue Diode Publishing. My current research project, funded by the Foyle Foundation, is Young Poets' Stories: https://youngpoetsstories.com/. This blog is archived by the British Library.
