Links to: Poetry Publishers
There are so many excellent presses and publishers at present. In an effort to measure how high their profile is I have written in blue (from 2021 only) the most recent time that the press had a review in a poetry magazine.
I have restricted the list to publishers of poetry in the English language, and languages from the U.K. and Ireland.
I have now added some prize winners in blue. I list all the prize wins, but only the most recent shortlist.
