Book Description
The Tabla Book of New Verse sets selected entries submitted to the annual Tabla poetry competition alongside work solicited from both established authors and former contributors.
Poets previously published in Tabla anthologies include John Burnside, Louise Glück, Seamus Heaney, Peter McDonald, Medbh McGuckian, W. S. Merwin, Paul Muldoon, Ruth Padel, Kathleen Raine, Peter Redgrove, Carol Rumens, Charles Simic, Pauline Stainer, Anne Stevenson, George Szirtes and Charles Tomlinson. The Tabla Book of New Verse prides itself equally on the publication of excellent work by less familiar names. It enjoys a very strong reputation for the quality of both its contents and its design.
Several poems published in recent Tabla anthologies have been shortlisted in the Best Individual Poem of the Year category of the Forward Poetry Awards, including two in 2001.
The Tabla Book of New Verse 2004 is an elegant publication full of impressive poems. It includes several of the finest entries to the most recent Tabla Poetry Competition, judged by George Szirtes, plus many poems solicited from other authors. Among those published in this year's book are Chris Agee, Matthew Caley, Anne-Marie Fyfe, Judy Gahagan, David Gravender, Andrew Johnston, Sinéad Morrissey and Pascale Petit.
