With the publication of this first collection, Tower Poetry presents the work of seven young writers of real promise and achievements. Some have been winners of the annual Christopher Tower poetry competitions; others have taken part in the Tower Poetry Summer School; still others have been participants in the regular Tower classes on writing poetry given in the University of Oxford.

New talent is always surprising rather than familiar. All the poets here are different - different from one another, and different from the usual pattern of "promise" in the world of contemporary British poetry.

The Tower Poets in this exciting and distinctive collection are:

  • Caroline Bird
  • Olivia Cole
  • Frances Leviston
  • Anna Lewis
  • Helen Mort
  • Tim Smith-Laing
  • Matthew Sperling
