Tony Ward, Editor of Arc Publications
Arc specializes in the publication of contemporary poetry from new and established writers in the UK and abroad, with special emphasis on the work of world poets writing in English, and the work in translation (published as parallel-text editions) of overseas poets. Many of these writers are renowned in their native countries but their work is unavailable in the UK. Arc is now in its 4th decade of publishing contemporary poetry, and its list contains many first collections by poets who have subsequently become familiar, highly regarded names in the literary world.
