  This year marks the tenth anniversary of The Poetry School. I Am Twenty People! celebrates this occasion, and is the third anthology of an ongoing series from Enitharmon Press that aims to bring the work of new poets to a wider readership. At the time of acceptance, none of the poets included in I Am Twenty People! had published a full-length volume, although some now have books forthcoming. The majority of contributors to the first anthology went on to publish collections. Contributors to both previous anthologies number among their successes a shortlisting for the T S Eliot Prize, the Forward Prize for Best First Collection, the Forward Prize for Best Poem, the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize, the Jerwood/Aldeburgh Prize for Best First Collection, New Writing Ventures Awards, the Poetry Society's Hamish Canham Prize and Poetry Book Society Recommendations.
