	British Poetry Since 1945 - Peter Finch
		British poetry here is regarded as writing from Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and England in the English language.
		The ousting of the mainstream from the august London Poetry Society during the early seventies was a classic example of the new overwriting the old.
		Pop poetry may have been doing well in the clubs while neo-modernists filled the small presses yet here was proof that formalism, structure, traditional meaning and outright clarity were not qualities that had left these lands.

		Since Emily detested what she saw of portraiture—stiff, formalized, pretentious poses, and dour expressions—I think she would have been awestruck at Artemisia's figure paintings capturing an active moment in time, with the figures contorted, engaged, the facial expressions full of emotion.
		Since neither was satisfied in a normal love relationship, I think they would have understood and sympathized with each other's longings.
		Since tribal people were just learning English from the missionaries and their new white employers at that time, I reasoned that they probably spoke a broken English of commonly used words.

	David Kennedy - Spring 2001 Feature
		This is why introductions to poetry anthologies always tend to over-emphasise the extent to which the work they collect has been involved with the social and political events of its times.
		However, whatever type of poetry an anthology represents, the very fact they are anthologised is a signal that these writers are in the process of becoming the new establishment, the new canon or whatever.
		is poetry, then the term poetry merely refers to writings that are uncategorizable in any other way, to writings whose emphasis is on play, performativity, on scanning and mixing; writings which self-reflexively focus on how meaning is produced and where it is usually located culturally—this cultural location being at once social, economic, and political.

		It remains the case twenty years later that there is a strong hint of the majority of the english poets to rediscover their ‘Englishness’ as a poet, and at the same time the presence of the various other cultures ensures that their remains a deep variety in the crative material.
		According to Linda Cookson, Patten's poetry complements that of Henri and McGough, but there is an essential difference between them in that Patten's humour is of an entirely different character from the verbal gymnastics of Henri and McGough, and is subordinated almost always to an underlying seriousness of purpose.

	Robert Sheppard: Elsewhere and Everywhere..other new (British) poetries
		(7) Yet The New Poetry (the second) proposed itself as both a 'new generation of poets' (a term that was shortened in a marketing ploy of the mid-1990s), and 'the beginning of the end of British poetry's tribal divisions and isolation, and a new cohesiveness', the end of negative feed-backs.
		The work of the British Poetry Revival of 1960-1975, a term Eric Mottram used frequently, is featured in the third section which he edited.
		The book features a large selection of North American poetry, mostly so-called 'language' poetry, a movement whose formalism consists of using disruptive techniques and exploiting the mechanisms of reference in ordinary language to generate estranged discourses that, in Barthesian terms, are essentially writerly, that re-orders discourses and the world that discourse constructs.

	British Poetry at Y2K
		Since he regards his book as essentially a loosely-connected series of essays, it is probably best to avoid any implication that it can be regarded as a complete account of any kind or seeks an Archimedean point from which to survey the field.
		He thinks the Swiftian contempt sometimes noted in Reading's poetry is often only a "sclerotic posture" such as one associates with the late work of Kingsley Amis, and that Reading projects a self-loathing onto the general public with his castigations of the generic Beckettian "H.sap" and the "pangoids" and "morlocks" that populate his writing.
		Didsbury's poetry is characteristically self-conscious and self-reflexive in the manner of these other poets and it frequently meditates on language and the versions of the self that speak it.

	On The Natural History Of Destruction - W. G. Sebald - Penguin UK
		As a result the works produced by German authors after the war are often marked by a half-consciousness or false consciousness designed to consolidate the extremely precarious position of those writers in a society that was morally almost entirely discredited.
		To the overwhelming majority of the writers who stayed on in Germany under the Third Reich, the redefinition of their idea of themselves after 1945 was a more urgent business than the depiction of the real conditions surrounding them.
		The case of Alfred Andersch was a good example of the unfortunate consequences in literary practice, and for that reason the essay on him which I published in Lettre a few years ago is reprinted here, after the lectures on air war an literature.

	Carmen Bujdei / The Irish Experience of Violence in Irish Contemporary Poetry and Popular Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		In an analysis of the upsurge of nationalist feelings in the 'peripheral' provinces of the UK (Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland) in the late 1960s, Anderson (1989) argues that the distinctively violent character of the armed confrontations between Catholic and Protestant paramilitary forces in Ireland is in line with a specific historic legacy.
		Insofar as the Irish experience is concerned, the latter category is relevant, since it is seen to include internal wars, vigilante actions and riots.
		This inherently political dimension of culture has been highlighted by Redhead (1990), as regards the forms of political protest and resistance to the values and authority of mainstream society that have been articulated in the counter-cultural or subcultural discourses of pop and rock music.

	ebr10 --<Matthias
		I suppose it's unfair to characterize the Armitage/Crawford anthology as a book that represents the mainstream in its derivation from a kind of Hardyesque ethos epitomized by Philip Larkin in his poetry and by Donald Davie both in his early critical writings and in his polemical Thomas Hardy and British Poetry of 1973.
		It is not the same poem in this Penguin anthology that it was in The Hawk in the Rain in 1957.
		Late work by indigenous British modernists like David Jones, Hugh MacDiarmid and Basil Bunting was published and even more fully marginalized figures like the English Mina Loy and the Irish Brian Coffey began to be noticed again.

	The Poetry of Aging
		Each of these poets has his or her own style, of course, but each poet incorporates straightforward, image-driven verse that is accessible to students not familiar with English and American literature.
		These sources are meant to provide a foundation for the study of poetry and aging with students in high school and university contexts.
		I have often used the poems in this section on the first night of class in order to introduce students to poetry writing as a means of conveying ideas and feelings about the experience of aging.

		The book kicks off with a combative introduction that concerns how the poets included have chosen to be or found themselves made “other” to mainstream British poetry, both aesthetically and in terms of their access and attitude to the institutions of cultural legitimation – major presses, curricula, canons, public funding, and so forth.
		Conventional wisdom sorts the UK poetry scene into two camps, “Cambridge” and “London”, with J.H. Prynne the presiding genius of the former and Eric Mottram and Bob Cobbing sharing the honours for the latter.
		Riley’s ear is attuned to the high rhetoric and music of poetries of other centuries and other languages, but via an absorption of modern masters of such high lyricism, such as Duncan, Pound, Spicer or the British poet Nicholas Moore.

		Since returning, I've lived from writing; from books, reading tours (in Europe, Africa and the USA -- including one of 30 readings in 6 weeks across the US and Canada), and occasional teaching (see below).
		Supported by the British Council, who then asked me (as a sort of quid pro quo) to go down to Macedonia (then internationally isolated) as they'd "asked for someone" and no-one would go.

	WHOSE NEW AMERICAN POETRY?: ANTHOLOGIZING IN THE NINETIES
		The "dissociations of post-symbolist French poetry," otherwise known as Surrealism are notable in James Wright, Charles Simic, and Sylvia Plath.
		This anthology shows that avant-garde poetry endures in its resistance to mainstream ideology; it is the avant-garde that renews poetry as a whole through new, but initially shocking, artistic strategies.
		In their inception, many of these poetries were, ironically, quite conservative so far as form, rhetoric, and the ontology of the poem were concerned.
