Our lovely Poetry Bookcase is slowly growing its stock, and we have recently added new stock from 2 more independent poetry presses.

Seren Books, based in Bridgend, South Wales, has been publishing great poetry for over 25 years and aims “to give voice to outstanding writing in the English language from Wales”.

Flipped Eye publishing was founded in 2001 and is dedicated “to publishing great and affordable fiction and poetry”. Flipped Eye has won awards from the Poetry Book Society and was shortlisted for an Independent Publishers Guild Award in 2007.

Books from both publishers are now in stock at the Poetry Bookcase and are well worth a browse. Authors include Owen Sheers, Peter Finch, Carol Rumens (all Seren) and Ainsley Burrows, Jacob Sam-La Rose and Nii Ayikwei Parkes (Flipped Eye).

And if you haven’t discovered the Poetry Bookcase yet, now would be a good time to make that acquaintance.
