En savoir plus sur le livre
Here is the first major collection since A. Alvarez's classic, The New Poetry, and like its controversial predecessor this anthology argues as well as illustrates. There has been no abrupt break with the past, the editors say, but there is unquestionably a new Spirit in poetry today: a shared interest in narrative, a pleasure in metaphor, a post-Modernist wit - and nerve. Charting these developments over the last two decades, the anthology opens with Seamus Heaney and includes several more poets from Ireland, alongside Douglas Dunn, Craig Raine, James Fenton, Anne Stevenson and others. It represents a flourishing Generation of poets and is altogether a brilliant new Landmark in anthologies of modern poetry.
