We Have Come Through! and by epigraph also to Matthew Arnold's "Dover Beach" – was published by Faber in February 2007.

The Poetry Book Society (PBS) was founded in 1953 by T. S. Eliot and friends, including Sir Basil Blackwell, "to propagate the art of poetry". Eric Walter White was secretary from December 1953 until 1971, and was subsequently the society's chairman. The PBS was chaired by Philip Larkin in the 1980s. Each quarter, the Society selects one newly published collection of poetry as its "Choice" title for its members and makes four "Recommendations" for optional purchase. Recently, the Society has expanded its selected titles to promote translated poetry and pamphlets. The Society also publishes the quarterly poetry journal, the PBS Bulletin, and until 2016 administered the annual T. S. Eliot Prize for Poetry. Following the Poetry Society's instigation of its New Generation Poets promotion in 1994, the Poetry Book Society organised two subsequent "Next Generation Poets" promotions in 2004 and 2014. In 2016, the former Poetry Book Society charity which had managed the book club from 1953 had to be wound up, with its director Chris Holifield appointed as the new director of the T.S. Eliot Prize, and with its book club and company name taken over by book sales agency Inpress Ltd in Newcastle.

Founded in 2001 by Nii Ayikwei Parkes and J. A. Parkes, flipped eye publishing is a company that publishes original poetry and prose on a not-for-profit model. The not-for-profit approach has allowed flipped eye to focus on new writers with potential, proiritising development, thus facilitating the emergence of truly unique literary talent. The company's editorial focus is on work that is "clear and true rather than exhibitionist," but is not averse to publishing work that might be considered experimental, such as Niki Aguirre's apocalyptic 29 Ways to Drown, which was longlisted for the 2008 Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award. Some of the better known writers first published by flipped eye are Malika Booker, Inua Ellams, Warsan Shire, Ekere Tallie, Jacob Sam-La Rose, Niall O'Sullivan, AJ Odasso, and Leila Segal – a list that illustrates the significant percentage of female writers and British writers of Black and minority ethnic heritage that the company has published. In addition to its imprints, the company operates a number of distinct publishing series: mouthmark series, flap series and defeye.
