In 2020 we launched the first Wales Young Poets Award, created to support young writers during lockdown.
Land of Poets is the result of this competition: an anthology collecting the shortlisted poems in both Welsh and English categories, written by entrants aged 10-17 and edited by Eurig Salisbury; Wales Young Poets Award judge, former Welsh Children’s Laureate and our very own Welsh editor.
To celebrate the publication, Poetry Wales are offering a free copy of Land of Poets to schools in Wales. If you are connected to a school and would like to claim one, please email info@poetrywales.co.uk with your school’s details and we will provide you with a copy, as well as a discount code for 25% off bulk orders of five copies or more of the book.
