About Bloodaxe Books
Bloodaxe has revolutionised poetry publishing in Britain over the past 30 years. Internationally renowned for quality in literature and excellence in book design, its authors and books have won virtually every major literary award given to poetry, from the T.S. Eliot Prize and Pulitzer to the Nobel Prize. Anthologies like Staying Alive and Being Alive have broken new ground by opening up contemporary poetry to many thousands of new readers. These two best-selling anthologies will be joined by a companion volume, Being Human, in March 2011.
Widely respected for its innovative, international and diverse range of poetry publishing, including a substantial list of books in translation, Bloodaxe publishes both new and established poets from Britain and Ireland, as well as many poets from the US, including the new Poet Laureate of the United States, W.S. Merwin, and former Laureate Robert Hass. A growing number of Bloodaxe publications now include audio CDs or films on DVD of poets reading their work, and this digital revolution continues with new videos and audio clips regularly being posted on Bloodaxe’s web and Facebook sites.
"Bloodaxe Books has a ferocious reputation as a publisher of ground-breaking poetry."
