The Independent has listed the Salt Book of Younger Poets as one of its top ten Valentine’s Day gifts. Seriously. Like champagne, and truffle butter. We are to poetry what Marc Jacobs is to, um, aftershave. And what a review:
“Poetry is always a winner. This anthology showcases the new crop of young British poets and runs the gamut from lovey-dovey stuff to verses about technology.”

The Salt Book of Younger Poets is here! Featuring 85 emerging poets under the age of 26, including four poems from me. And it’s gorgeous! Coming soon to good bookshops near you, or you can buy it now from Amazon, or directly from Salt.
Excitingly pre-orderable here on amazon. I have four poems in it, and some other fabulous poets have things in it, too, like Sarah Howe and Inua Ellams.

“Lumsden hosts a supremely eclectic party for “new” British and Irish poets — more women than men, for once — whose newness turns on book-length debuts within the past 15 years rather than calendar age.” (Boyd Tonkin, The Independent)
