Description
This substantial anthology of the work of young English-language poets from Britain and abroad displays the variety and vigour of a new generation. The ebullient traditional wit of Sophie Hannah, the vivid orientation of Adam Schwartzman's poems set in South Africa, the formal challenge of Miles Champion with his debt to French poetry and to the New York School amply and originally repaid, and the precise elegiac note of Adam Johnson, who died of AIDS in 1992, are generously represented. These are among the poets whose first collections will be published by Carcanet in coming years. Most are in their twenties. They do not constitute a school or movement: their work attests to the particular independence of spirit of writers for whom the fashions of the 1980s hold little charm, whose roots are in the poetries of the past and of other lands.
