Join us for the 12th annual awards

This is an online event. Bookers will be sent a link in advance giving access and will be able to watch at any time for 48 hours after the start time.

The Michael Marks Awards for Poetry Pamphlets are presented in partnership with the Michael Marks Charitable Trust, the Wordsworth Trust, the TLS and Harvard Center for Hellenic Studies, and in association with the National Library of Wales and the National Library of Scotland.

The Awards celebrate poetry pamphlet publishing in the UK. Poetry pamphlets provide a way for new writers to reach an audience and for established writers to experiment. Join us to hear from the shortlisted poets and publishers and to hear the winners as they are announced.

Four Awards will be made, for Publisher, Poet, Illustrator and Poetry in a Celtic Language. The shortlisted poets will each read from their pamphlets, and the publishers will talk about their work this year.

More details about the Awards can be found at the Michael Marks Awards website.
