  Weekend feature: Britain's best new poets | Special Reports | Guardian Unlimited Books
Detractors have already whispered that several of the current crop are, in fact, clones; that the "Pod Poets" of the New Generation have spawned their diminutive replicas in the shape of the Next Generation.
And the Next Gens can expect a rough ride from the postmodernist hardliners and avant garde-ists ready to sneer at any poet naive enough to use a capital letter at the beginning of a sentence and a full stop at the end.
Within the Next Generation are poets who don't scoff at the common reader, who don't ignore or patronise the public, and who are able to practise their art without dumbing down or squandering poetry's aptitude for tackling complex subjects in challenging ways.

 Poets Q&A
Poets should perhaps fight this by taking up their pens and writing intelligent appraisals of work.
I write as a woman who has a child--the transmission from generation to generation, as well as the sense of transmission in general, dominates the new book--but also as a woman who feel that the earth is at very great risk.
Dipping in at a poet's eighth or ninth book and saying, wow, this person is really willfully obscure is sort of unfair, especially if the poet is one whose style evolves.

 Next Generation poets (2004) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Next Generation poets are a list of young and middle-aged figures from British poetry, mostly British, compiled by a panel for the Poetry Book Society in 2004.
This is a promotional exercise, and a sequel to the New Generation poets.

 Hank Lazer: The People's Poetry   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
For writers of the generation of Charles Bernstein (i.e., born around 1950), that refinement may entail an extended exploration of the avant-garde writing methods developed in the 1970s and 1980s—methods that themselves extend the experimentation that marked the early 20th century, as Marjorie Perloff demonstrates persuasively in her 21st-Century Modernism.
While the Freud-Bloom model of generational conflict, a series of oedipal struggles and successions, may not be applicable, it is nonetheless hard to determine what this next generation seeks to overcome, or correct, or enhance.
A major hazard for this generation is a bland eclecticism, with technically adroit writing that remains superficial because the cultural and historical tension of the formal gestures has evaporated.

 MetaNym : Oriya Journal and Anthology
Next to Sochi Rautroy and his peer Ananta Patnaik, it is Guruprasad Mohanty who is reckoned as an icon in contemporary Oriya poetry.
If Sitakant and pre-Sitakant poets tended to be reticent and, often, too undertonal, Soubhagya Kumar and Rajendra Kishore came up with the trait of vigour of Rautroy and, in their own individual ways, charged it with new dimensions and wider connotations.
Among the next generation poets who are both “young and not-so-young,” Amaresh Patnaik, Haraprasad Paricha Patnaik, Abhaya Kumar Padhi, Rohinikanta Mukherjee, Aswini Kumar Mishra, Hrushikesh Mallick, Bhagirathi Mishra, Satrughna Pandab and Aparna Mohanty have evinced their creative talents in variegated utterances.

However, this generation, born between 1960 and 1976 and popularly known as Gen X, has yet to be properly represented for its poetry and the way its poetry engages the formal tradition in American literature.
Writing an audible, kinetic, and muscular poetry, these poets navigate their difficult period of history with a shoot-from-the-hip attitude that has no difficulty mixing popular and high culture, that is colloquial, slangy, and playful, and yet is inclined to sing and tell stories.
The world as these young poets see it is as rich and strange as that of John Donne, with its amazing scientific discoveries, its sudden exposure to a thousand new cultures, its weirdly lovely technological landscapes, its new found land of sexual liberty.

 Rich's Life and Career--by Deborah Pope
There is scarcely an anthology of feminist writings that does not contain her work or specifically engage her ideas, a women's studies course that does not read her essays, or a poetry collection that does not include her work or that of the next generation of poets steeped in her example.
Rich was born 16 May 1929 in Baltimore, Maryland, the elder of two daughters of Arnold Rich, a doctor and pathology professor at Johns Hopkins University, and Helen Jones Rich, a gifted pianist and composer who had given up a possible professional musical career to raise a family.
As her journal entries from these years reveal, this was an emotionally and artistically difficult period; she was struggling with conflicts over the prescribed roles of womanhood versus those of artistry, over tensions between sexual and creative roles, love, and anger.

When you live with a poet, if you see that they are not really with you, that they are light years away, far from feeling - 'Oh goodness, he's not with me and we're having a dinner party tonight' - you know he is doing what is his vocation.
It would not strike the poet, I hope, that there was a discrepancy between my description of the work and the poet’s own conception of it.

Each poet has a narrow range, and the majority of the poets seem to have gone to the same workshop.
Once the publishers are happy the next step would be to throw in a few jokers, making sure you don't tread on too many PC sensibilities.
Many of the poets (Francis is the most obvious exception) seem not to take the letter or word layer of construction into account - they're thinking thoughts, then writing them down rather than having sound/sense/typography all active during the creation process.

My mother was a poet and my father is an artist, using his hands as his voice.
The main supporters of my art are my family, circle of mentors (Oriki Theatre, California Poets in the Schools, Poet Mary Lee McNeil), and the students I teach and perform for, as well as their teachers and school administrators.
I have been a poet my whole life and, quite frankly, I don't think anyone is brave enough to try to discourage me.

He is certainly one of the world’s most universally beloved poets, read by children and teachers, scholars and poets, musicians and historians.
When he writes that an artist must be unafraid, in “The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain,” he is not only defending the need for his own work, but calling forth the next generation of poets, not only giving them permission to write about race, but charging them with the responsibility of writing about race.
Unfortunately, as with many of our great American poets (Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost), the variety and challenging nature of his work has been reduced in the public mind through the repeated anthologizing of his least political, most accessible work.

The exhibition highlights the relationships between mentor and student, with the student going on to become the teacher of the next generation.
The arrangement in the show's physical exhibition space is by generation, not genre; visitors move from first-generation painters to first-generation poets.
