Book Description
Reactions is an annual anthology of the best new poets from the UK and abroad. Partly selected from open submission, and partly commissioned, Reactions 5 showcases a substantial body of work from each of 19 poets who are on the verge of having their first collections published, if they haven’t done so already.
From the Publisher
Reactions 5 is edited by Clare Pollard (‘The Heavy-Petting Zoo’ and ‘Bedtime’) and her selections include: Hamish Ironside, Daljit Nagra (winner of Forward individual poem and a Poetry Book Society pamphlet recommendation), Leanne O'Sullivan (winner of many prizes in Ireland), Rebecca O'Connor (winner of the Geoffrey Dearmer prize in Poetry Review and the writer in residence at Wordsworth Trust), Michael Smith aka The Giro Playboy (who has his own collection coming out in 2006) and the very exciting David Briggs and John McCullough – and lots more. If you want to have your finger on the poetry pulse, Reactions 5 is where to look.
