The Faber Poetry list, originally founded in the 1920s, was shaped by the taste of T.S. Eliot, who was its guiding light for nearly forty years. Each passing decade has seen it grow with the addition of poets who are arguably the finest of their generation. The Faber Poetry Diary is a celebration of this remarkable Faber list. Some of the poets in the 2021 edition are: Simon Armitage, Mary Jean Chan, Emily Dickinson, T.S. Eliot, Ted Hughes, Seamus Heaney, Rudyard Kipling, Derek Walcott, W. B. Yeats, and Sylvia Plath.
