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 last time that the press had a listing in the Poetry Book Society (PBS) Bulletin, which is published quarterly. (Winter 2024 update completed.)
​
This is supplemented by appearances in reviews of the poetry magazines that I subscribe to. I have listed the priority I give to these at the bottom of the page.
​
I have restricted the list to publishers of poetry in the English language, and languages from the U.K. and Ireland.

​
The order of the most recent magazine review, which you can see listed first in light blue, follows the following priorities:
(Note: For magazine reviews I delete all updates in favour of a new update of the same or higher priority. I plan to permanently list the all prize winners, but only the most recent prize shortlisting.)
​
​
Priority 1.

​
Then it is based on book reviews in magazines I subscribe to.

​

​
Followed by online magazines I like to read:
Priority 4.
The High Window (April 2021 to December 2023)

​
Priority 5.
​
Then other occasional sources Including:
