    Why have so many contemporary poets turned to source material, from newspapers to governmental records, as inspiration for their poetry?

    - Affect and History in Postwar Experimental Poetry
    by Benjamin Lee
    £63.49

    Experimental poetry responded to historical change in the decades after World War II, with an attitude of such casual and reckless originality that its insights have often been overlooked.

    - Essays on His Work
     
    £66.99

    In this first book of essays devoted entirely to Nathaniel Mackey's work, critics respond to a major oeuvre that is at once affirmative and utopic, negational and dystopic. Mackey's work envisions cultural creation as cross-cultural, based in the damaging relationships of Africans brought against their will to the Americas.
