Poems of the Decade 2001-2010

Anthology of poems selected from the submissions for the Forward poetry prizes each year from 2001-2010.

I really enjoyed these. Last anthology I read was [[101 Famous Poems, Cook]]^? which I didn’t really enjoy because they were almost all about God which is fine but not really my kind of thing. These were much less religious.

The following I particularly enjoyed:

• Eat Me, Agbabi
• Dead Cat Poem, Alexander
• Material, Barber
• Inheritance, Boland
• A Leisure Centre is also a Temple of Learning, Boyle
• One Two, Clanchy
• An Easy Passage, Copus
• The Map-Woman, Duffy
• Giuseppe, Ford
• Night Drive, French
• Night Drive, Fulleylove
• September 11th, 2001, Herd
• Effects, Jenkins
• Late Love, Kay
• [[Jury, MacRae]]^?
• An Encroachment, McKendrick
• Assassinations, Porter
• Instruction, Read
• Of Mutability, Shapcott
• The New Bride, Smith
• On Her Blindness, Thorpe
• Trick, Willets

I also memorised a few of them to add to [[The Anthology]]^?.
