Salt Modern Poets
The Salt Modern Poets series was launched in 1999, and is home to some of the world’s foremost poets.
Since our launch, we have published nearly five hundred collections of poetry – including over eighty debuts including works by Nuar Alsadir, Simon Barraclough, Vahni Capildeo, Amy Key, John McCullough, Jill McDonough and Mark Waldron. We have now reopened unsolicited British submissions, as we develop this important part of our list, and we are especially keen to continue supporting new writers.
Below are this year’s additions to the series, but you can discover all Salt's poetry titles in our complete catalogue. We hope you find something to buy, read, treasure and share.
