The Salt Modern Poets series was launched in 1999, and is loved and collected by poetry readers around the world.
Since our launch we have published nearly five hundred collections of poetry – including over eighty debuts by authors such as Nuar Alsadir, Simon Barraclough, Vahni Capildeo, Amy Key, John McCullough, Jill McDonough and Mark Waldron.
Below are the past year’s new additions to the list, but you can discover all Salt's poetry titles in our complete catalogue. We hope you find something to buy, read, treasure and share.
