Books by World Poetry

The publisher World Poetry, edited by Matvei Yankelevich, are putting out some extraordinary contemporary poetry. It is really in my area of interest, high quality work, new translations, and beautiful designs too, and with a significant grounding in European poetry. Due to my festival I am asked often about publishers people should follow to access some quality contemporary European poetry, and so I’m sharing https://worldpoetrybooks.com/ which feel in the tradition of Peter Owen, where I worked briefly when I started out in writing (an experience which shaped me massively) You can see their titles and sign up for their quarterly newsletter and recently I’ve been reading their new translations of Boethius, Sodergran and Seferis, evidencing their eye on the past as well as the future
