Simon Armitage is one of the most compelling figures in contemporary literature, most conspicuously because of his charismatic style, but also because he has brought into poetry an irreverent, streetwise gusto and a kind of knowledge that often seems to come from outside poetry altogether.

In To World, poems interrogate everything: nature, society, and thought itself, with no prejudice or even principle. We are before thought in its totality, unwilling to recognize borders - although never in a pure state, not falling into speculation, into thinking just for thinking's sake.

Eleanor Rees's first collection, Andraste's Hair was shortlisted for Best First Collection in the 2007 Forward Prizes and for the 2008 Glen Dimplex Poetry Award.

The first truly representative translation into English of a Central European poetic prodigy of the early twentieth century - the Slovenian Rimbaud - who died at the age of twenty-two but whose work bears comparison at once with Rilke, Ungaretti and Apollinaire, yet has its own distinctive and disarming iconoclastic vitality.

How To Build A City is the Crashaw Prize-winning debut collection of poetry by Tom Chivers. It is a poetic interrogation of the twenty-first century urban experience, peopled by ghosts of London's past as well as the distinctly modern spectres of international terrorism, spam email and the credit crunch.

In The Children's War, Beers explores wars both literal and figurative, moving from global conflict to violence in mythology, domestic violence, and the war of disease ravaging the body. These poems act as a survival guide, showing that hope exists in even the darkest of places and that poetry is key to our healing.

POETRY BANK CHOICE. Mark Waldron's debut collection The Brand New Dark is a book about sex, eyes, eggs, dogs, death and sausages.

Philip Wells performs as The Fire Poet everywhere from St Paul's Cathedral to Channings Wood Prison, from Buckingham Palace to children's hospices, from 11 Downing Street to children's psychiatric units, in front of everyone from Robbie Williams to Gordon Brown.

The Source of the Sound traces the journeys of exiles in search of home. The collection is littered with the mise-en-scene of being lost: motel rooms, alcohol abuse, prostitution ... Yet, in each story there is some elemental contact with light and sound, the product of the characters' longing for simple, uncorrupted, reorienting signs.

The characters in this award-winning debut collection are very good at losing things: children, lovers, hope, the plot. They discover the past is not a place easily escaped from, as it pursues them with startling, sometimes horrifying, consequences. Provocative and bold, these stories will get under your skin.

Plain spoken narrators as diverse as the America they inhabit - a pastor's son, the lonely night nurse and fat boy - are all ill at ease. Through road kill, September 11th and death row characters address their own bitter faults with noir-like melancholy, seeking redemption and absolution.

In addressing public and private conflicts and transnational borders, David Lloyd's new collection Warriors draws from myth, history, popular culture, family, the animal world, the environment while using an array of forms: the sestina, the parable, the lyric, the narrative, the poem sequence.

William Logan's poetry has been called elegant, difficult, cranky, formidable, dazzling, intoxicating, and ominous. For almost forty years, he has published poems that do not fit comfortably with the work of most of his contemporaries, and perhaps do not want to fit at all.

She loved ... and killed ... both men and women. She was utterly beautiful and utterly mad. This is a tale of passionate horror ... a breath-taking venture into abnormal psychology ... a story which cannot be forgotten.

An ambitious sequence of prize-winning poems, Flatlands unearths a living world from Britain's prehistory. The poems' stark forms evoke the voices of flint miners, tribal warriors and Boudica rebelling against Roman rule.
