Synopsis

Literary Nonfiction. Poetry History & Criticism. For over four decades, Tom Raworth has been one of the essential contemporary writers. Poet, printer, publisher, editor, translator, virtuoso performer, visual artist, satirist, foreign correspondent and perpetual shapeshifter, Raworth is an influential and widely admired figure on both sides of the Atlantic; his many publications include TOTTERING STATE, a selected poems now in its third edition, and the monumental Collected Poems published in 2003 by Carcanet. But such accolades seem ony to chase their elusive subject, who remains one of the liveliest and most provocative presences on the contemporary scene. REMOVED FOR FURTHER STUDY is the first booklength appraisal of this quintessential moving target. It brings together new writing on Raworth by twenty-three poets and critics from both sides of the Atlantic, previously uncollected texts by the poet, and a detailed bibliography of his work. Contributors include David Ball, cris creek, Ian Davidson, Nate Dorward, Ken Edwards, Gunnar Harding, Anselm Hollo, Fanny Howe, J. C. C. Mays, Peter Middleton, Alan Munton, Tom Orange, Marjorie Perloff, Simon Perril, Joan Retallack, Peter Robinson, Claude Royet-Journoud, Robert Sheppard, Ron Silliman, Jonathan Skinner, Keith Tuma, Ben Watson and John Wilkinson. REMOVED FOR FURTHER STUDY provides a fresh and engaging set of response to the work of one of the major poets of our time.
