Young British Poets

Todd Swift has been working on the YPB project for the last year and as he says: ‘I hope that, in time, this list will help critics, readers, and researchers to explore this generation’. I am happy to amongst the 225 poets listed here, all of whom are under 40 (part of the criteria). Some of these names I know well, as peers, colleagues and close friends, there are names here that I have never read but I hope, like me, you will hunt them out on Amazon or at events.
