Product Description

Synopsis
"Ancestral Lines" explores poetry written away from the economic and cultural centre of London by six poets: Seamus Heaney, Tony Harrison, Douglas Dunn, Gillian Clarke, Sally Roberts Jones and Oliver Reynolds. Studies of the individual poets are accompanied by general essays on the influence of politics, history and myth on poetry from Ireland, Wales and the North of England, showing how poetry emerges from the matrix of personal, regional and historical identity. This book should be a challenge to conventional literary notions of life on the margins.
