For all those with a finger on the pulse of new poetry, the London Review Bookshop is hosting a celebration of the new age of British verse. Famed for their role in providing a platform for fresh talent, publishing house Carcanet have brought us five groundbreaking New Poetry Anthologies (with a sixth imminent) and generated a flurry of excitement and accolades. In recognition of this contribution to the future of poetry, editor Michael Schmidt was awarded an OBE

For those who like to be on the forefront of literary discovery, or those who are curious about this new generation, this event will be an enriching and enlightening chance to sample the very freshest talents.
