Andrew Crozier (1943-2008) was a poet, and an energiser of poetry.
A champion of work excluded from the familiar canon, he brought to
the English literary landscape of the 1960s and 70s an engagement
with the energies of American poetry. As a publisher and critic he
helped to create a space for new voices within English poetry: for
George Oppen, Carl Rakosi, Roy Fisher, J.H. Prynne. His own poetry
is meticulous in its attention to language, exhilarating in its
inventiveness and force. Crozier wrote that, for him, 'becoming a
poet had to do with finding a mode for making sense of ...being
alive', and his writing is alive with the possibilities of
language. Ian Brinton, editor of The Use of English until 2011 and
author of Contemporary Poetry since 1990, has brought together a
comprehensive selection of Crozier's poetry and prose, much of it
previously out of print or scattered in small press publications.
Biographical and critical notes and a detailed bibliography
complete this landmark edition of one of the essential figures in
modern poetry.
