To celebrate the wonderful year of writing we have had at The Wild Word, our editors have chosen their poetry picks for 2023.

Poetry has long held a special place in the heart of the magazine and in these uncertain and turbulent times, with our greater need for humanity in an increasing digital age, we feel that poetry is now more important than ever. We are ever grateful to the poets that submit and entrust us with their work.
