"“What a fantastic list”, said McMillan, who was joined on the judging panel by the poets Caroline Bird, Robert Crawford, Pollard and Paul Farley. “We are going through a really fantastic period for poetry and these writers show the confidence poetry has at the moment. It is everywhere – in festivals, open mic nights, on the internet.”" Ian McMillan • Guardian "Once a decade, the Poetry Book Society announces a list of Next Generation Poets, the ones who they think will "dominate the poetry landscape of the coming decade". Today they released the full roster for 2014. It's an unusual remit. And "dominate the landscape" is an odd turn of phrase, which makes the list sound like a series of dark satanic mills planned for Shropshire." Charlotte Runcie • Telegraph
