�e Wolf: A Decade (Poems 2002-2012)

�e Wolf: A Decade is one of the most exciting poetry anthologies in recent history. It celebrates ten years in the life of what is arguably the most international ‘little magazine’ in circulation today. Publishing poetries from across the world since 2002— from Adonis to Patti Smith—this is the story of a radical journal that has changed the poetic tradition as we know it by championing prize-winning poets alongside that of a British and global ‘new’ generation, which fuse together here and signal some of the most important poems of the twentieth century.

�e Wolf doesn’t just press all the right buttons, it does so with �air, style and integrity.
