Paperback. "New Poetries IV" celebrates the distinctiveness and diversity of new poetry in English. The eleven poets included are variously rooted in Europe, America, the Caribbean, Africa, Asia, Australasia; they write with the imaginative energies less of world travellers than of world citizens. Vigorous, observant, questioning, entertaining, this writing is passionately alive and intellectually alert. The poets share an engagement with the possibilities of language and form; yet each is unique in the histories and strategies that enrich their craft. Eleven exciting new voices establish their presence here, making new the tongue and art they have inherited. Celebrates the distinctiveness and diversity of poetry in English. This book looks at eleven poets who are variously rooted in Europe, America, the Caribbean, Africa, Asia, Australasia; who write with the imaginative energies less of world travellers than of world citizens.

About this title

Synopsis

Eleven rising poets from around the world fill this anthology with English-language work that tests the traditional boundaries of writing. The authors reflect a diverse mix of cultures, generations, and poetic styles but are unified by their formal scope, the breadth of their themes, and the beauty of their art. Each work unveils new landscapes, real and imagined, from the Americas, Europe, Africa, the Caribbean, and elsewhere. Together these writers, among them Andrew Frolish, Edward Ragg, Emma Jones, Joanna Preston, and Kei Miller, offer a collection that presents continents and cultures in a remarkably innovative light.
