Selected Poetry

Selected Poetry is The Broken Spine’s unthemed poetry anthology, edited by David Hanlon and Katie Jenkins and published as a free downloadable PDF. Poems are chosen from open submissions and the series brings together established and emerging poets from the UK and around the world.

Selected Poetry: Autumn 2025 followed with work by Michael Conley, Patrick Wright, Jill McCabe Johnson, Heather Wastie and many more. Both editions were designed by Alan Parry.
