The fourth in a series of anthologies produced as part of the annual Primers scheme, run in partnership by The Poetry School and Nine Arches Press, featuring three new and emerging voices.

The Primers scheme provides an important platform for emerging poets who are seeking to develop their writing and build towards a full collection of poems. With the involvement of a different guest poet each year as mentor and one of the selecting editors, Primers nurtures and supports new talent that may otherwise not find an outlet. It also aims to provide an important opportunity for poets to develop their skills, work on their poetry practice, receive mentoring and editing and find audiences for their work.
