New Voices is a collection of the prize-winning and shortlisted works of the Poet Laureate of Jamaica Prizes for Poetry from 2017 to 2020, selected by Lorna Goodison.

In the words of respected literary scholar Professor Jahan Ramazani, ""To read works by such a talented young group of emerging writers gave me hope for the future of poetry.""Poems by: Christopher Allen, Jovant?® Anderson, Rojae Brown, Khadijah Chin, Kaleb D'Aguilar, Lauren Delapenha, Rohan Facey, Remone Foster, Delano Frankson, Britney Gabbidon, Kacy Garvey, Trevann Hamilton, Jason Henry, Gail Hoad, Rozan Levy, Demoy Lindo, Romardo Lyons, Rhea Manley, Delroy McGregor, Nardia Reid, Shannon Smith, Lisa Gaye Taylor, Teddense Thomas, Kiseon Thompson, Peta-Gaye Williams, Sad?® Young
