Emerging artists on shortlist for Forward poetry prize

Posted on 01/08/2008

Poems published by specialist presses are also well represented in the Forward poetry prize list, on which women outnumber men for the first time since 1999.

Judges chose six poets from 133 collections they considered for the Ł10,000 best collection prize, including the prolific Sujata Bhatt, whose poem Search for my Tongue will be familiar to many GCSE English students.
