& here is how Peter describes it:<\/p>\n

\n

It concerns poets pulled or self-propelled part-way or more towards the “advanced poetry” climate in UK, especially its ex-Cambridge (anti-lyric) flavour, set against a poet from quite elsewhere who by cultivating the history of an interceding displacement of the self achieves a true lyrical texture. \u00a0And a young poet who does none of these things but is serious about Barnsley. \u00a0Poets under review are Simon Perrill, Anthony Mellors, John Mateer and Andrew McMillan.<\/p>\n

While you’re there have a look round, e.g. for some engaging poems, not yet up but should be very soon, by Becka McKay, Iain Britton and Anthony Costello, including Costello’s versions of poems by Alain-Fournier. Poems by Alex Houen are already there.<\/p>\n

Also two Italian poets translated: Francesco Giardinezzo and Marco Genovisi, an account of a visit to John Ashbery by Anthony Howell, and an Yves Bonnefoy dossier. Also various interesting texts from the 1880\/90s. \u00a0My own past reviews are collected under the link “Poetry Notes”<\/p>\n
