Poetry Book Society Spring 2023 Bulletin

The Poetry Book Society was founded by T.S. Eliot to share the joy of poetry. It's a unique poetry book club and every quarter our expert selectors choose the very best new books to deliver to our members across the globe. Our lively quarterly magazine is packed full of sneak preview poems from all the selected poets, alongside exclusive interviews, insightful reviews by the Ledbury Critics and extensive listings of every book and pamphlet published this quarter. The Spring 2023 Bulletin magazine is a globe trotting extravaganza with thought-provoking poems and commentaries from leading international poets. The PBS Spring Choice Jason Allen-Paisant maps experiences of black masculinity from Africa to the streets of Europe and leads us back to the Renaissance Venice of Othello. The Translation Choice Agnes Agboton travels across three languages via Lawrence Schimel's skilful translations from Benin to Spain. Sarala Estruch takes us to her ancestry in Amritsar in India and Liz Berry relives her great aunt's journey to Canada as a Home Child in her unique new novel-in-verse. The Spring Pamphlet Choice Ellora Sutton offers a rare "songthrush" of a debut which explores queerness, history and nature with formal dexterity. Will Harris revels in persona and other in his playful Brother Poems and there's a poignant tribute to Carole Satyamurti's posthumous collection The Hopeful Hat.
