It offers a way to celebrate outstanding English-language contemporary poetry from poets based anywhere in the world who have yet to publish a full-length collection. Poets must be aged over eighteen.

PLATFORM embraces digital possibilities. It encourages distinctive, dynamic and innovative work that will be shared on the platform for free with audiences around the world.

PLATFORM will publish two releases a year, in spring and autumn. Each release will feature three poets, each with a set of poems and accompanying contextual material. Poets will be paid £300 for their contribution.

Please note that this is a separate enterprise to Faber Poetry and there is no connection to the submission process for the Faber Poetry list.

PLATFORM is generously supported by the T. S. Eliot Foundation.
