Contemporary Poetry in
the Classroom
The Poetry Book Society is a book club for all students, teachers, readers
and writers of contemporary poetry.
Since 1953, when it was founded by T S Eliot and friends, the PBS has been
recommending and selling the poetry best titles to its members. For
teachers who want to pass on their love of literature to their students,
and need easy access to the best new poetry, PBS membership is an
invaluable resource.
Philip Larkin, Seamus Heaney, Carol Ann Duffy, Simon Armitage, Ted Hughes
– all poets recently featured by the PBS. The collections and anthologies
the Society promotes, and the education material it produces support
current classroom practice, adding further dimensions to curriculum-based
studies and fostering students’ interest in the variety and vitality of
contemporary poetry.
Books are sold at discounts of at least 25% - but the PBS is an Arts
Council funded, non-commercial book club, so there is never an obligation
to buy extra books at all.
