Bloodaxe Books is Britain's premier
poetry publisher, with an international reputation for quality in
literature and excellence in design. Its editorial office is now at Highgreen (pictured above) in Northumberland, with its sales and marketing office at Y Bala, in North Wales. With its bold and diverse "stable" of new and established British, Irish, American, European and Commonwealth writers, Bloodaxe has revolutionised poetry publishing in Britain.
Bloodaxe's authors have won virtually every major literary award for which poetry is eligible, from the Pulitzer to the Nobel Prize for Literature.
Bloodaxe Books is named after the Viking king Eric Bloodaxe, last ruler of the old kingdom of Northumbria. After his death in 954 AD, the North became part of England for the first time. Eric Bloodaxe appears in Basil Bunting's great poem Briggflatts. Eric was perhaps our first patron of poetry: he made saga hero Egil write him a praise-poem overnight on pain of death.
