Various Poets

Faber & Faber, Limited

Described by The Daily Mail as "a wonderful feast of contemporary poetry", this year's edition of the highly-praised anthology will include poems by some of the most respected poets of their generation. The poems in this year's collection will be chosen by judges former Poet Laureate Sir Andrew Motion, poet and Editor of Poetry Review Fiona Sampson, poet and teacher Leonie Rushforth, biographer Lady Antonia Fraser and journalist Sameer Rahim. The Forward Prizes were founded to provide a showcase for contemporary poetry, and are now the UK's most valuable poetry prizes, and the only prizes that seek to reward both established and new writers. This collection will provide poetry lovers with the chance to keep up-to-date with the best contemporary poetry and will give new poetry readers the opportunity to get a flavour of the very best that contemporary poetry has to offer.

The Forward Book of Poetry 2012

In 1949, J.B. Priestley published Delight, a collection of short essays on the little things in life that caused even him, a self-confessed old monster , to stop and smile: from Sunday papers in the country and streets like film sets to quietly malicious chairmanship and frightening civil servants. We think we could all do with reminding about the happier things in life right now, so Waterstone s and Faber are updating Priestley s idea by publishing a collection called Modern Delight. We are approaching a wide array of people of accomplishment in the arts, politics, business, sports and elsewhere, asking them to write us a short essay on something that brings them delight. We are also asking contributors to tell us what their favourite literary delight is. Contributors confirmed so far include: Stephen Fry, Alain de Botton, Charley Boorman, Andrew Marr, Clive James, Beryl Bainbridge, Joan Bakewell, Andrew Roberts, Tom Stoppard, Alan Titchmarsh, William Boyd, Tracy Emin, Sebastian Faulks, Lynne Truss, Michael Boyd, Beryl Bainbridge, Tamsin Greig, Jon Holmes, Roy Strong, and Philip Pullman. Great Northern Books will be re-issuing JB Priestley's DELIGHT at the same time, as part of their ongoing Priestley project.
