About Anvil Press
Founded in 1968 by Peter Jay and now based in Greenwich, Anvil Press is England's longest-standing independent poetry publisher. They specialise in contemporary English poets – with a leavening of Irish and American – and in a range of translated poetry, from ancient classics to modern and contemporary poets.
Anvil Press is housed in Neptune House, a building that has been used at various points in its 100-year history as a dance-hall and a printing works.
In 1998, Anvil Press celebrated 30 years of publishing with an anthology of poems entitled The Spaces of Hope, drawn from the press's publications, and chosen and introduced by Peter Jay. The book illustrates the range of poets and kinds of poetry which the press values. 2008 marked Anvil’s 40th anniversary.
