Thomas Moult (1893-1974) was an English poet and journalist, and a member of the Georgian poets.

Life[]

Moult was born in Derbyshire.

He was a prolific critic, on music, drama, and books reviews; and a sportswriter in the popular press.

He is best known for his annual anthologies, Best Poems of the Year (1922 to 1943), which were popular verse selections taken from periodicals on both sides of the Atlantic.

In 1969 he founded a magazine, Voices, for young writers, publishing A.E. Coppard, Louis Golding, F.V. Branford, and Neville Cardus. It has been described as "eminently uncontroversial".[1]

Moult's daughter Joy was the 1st wife of psychologist Oliver Zangwill.
