Product Description

Product Description

"The Anvil New Poets" series has built up a reputation for introducing ground-breaking work from the best new poets. The names included in previous volumes are testament to the quality of the series: Kate Clanchy, Colette Bryce, Alice Oswald and Mimi Khalvati were all first published here. For the third volume in the series, Roddy Lumsden and Hamish Ironside have tracked down ten outstanding poets from all over Britain, and beyond. They have read through several hundred manuscripts, as well as soliciting work from the best new poets appearing in magazines and elsewhere. The result is an anthology both cohesive and various, by turns musical, formal, observational, witty and surreal.


About the Author

Roddy Lumsden has published two collections of poems with Bloodaxe Books, 'Yeah Yeah Yeah' (1997) and 'The Book of Love' (2000). His next book is entitled 'Roddy Lumsden is Dead'.Hamish Ironside has published his poems in magazines such as 'PN Review' and 'Thumbscrew'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perspective informs observation, words defy logic., 23 May 2001
By A Customer
I must say this is an eclectic and important compilation, from flesh-and-blood poets in modern England, aware, but not necessarily self-obsessed. If the book whets your appetite for perspective, consider hunting up a reading with one or more of the many talented writers who appear here . . .

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent new writing, 15 Jul 2001
By npasj2@cam.ac.uk (Cambridge, UK) - See all my reviews
A very interesting collection of modern poets. All good, but for me Kona Macphee excels. Brilliant touch, moves me every time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review by Tom Payne in The Telegraph, Saturday 2nd June 2001, 4 Jun 2001
By A Customer
The 10 poets in Anvil New Poets 3 are modern enough in their subject matter. One of them, Ros Barber, has two here that involve picking up condoms. (She has written elsewhere of a diaphragm and is well on the way to becoming the poet of prophylaxis). But in style they seem to look to earlier influences: Eliot, Stevens, Plath, Ashbery. The older the poets, the wider the choice of styles to emulate. So the poets here are happily versatile, even if some have yet to settle on a voice. Three at least have managed this. Robert Seatter, whose sense of line is so good you hardly notice it, and whose images come naturally (although I wasn't quite sure what God was doing in his lavatory); Sian Hughes, who is unafraid of her wild imagination; and Kathryn Gray, who is the most exciting poet in the collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some successes...
They are bundled together, but the poets seem to have little in common; perhaps a reflection of the diversity of contemporary poetry? Read more
