Critical introductions to a range of literary topics and genres.
Poetry has been described as 'a necessary art' that enriches what
goes on inside us. This book offers an introduction to the often
challenging world of contemporary poetry. The book focuses on very
recent poetry, and examines the various challenges to tradition it
presents: challenges of both content and form, as well as more
practical challenges such as new forms of publication. The poetry
is considered in relation to social, cultural and political
contexts throughout. Contents include recent work by established
poets such as Seamus Heaney and Ted Hughes as well as poetry by
writers who have emerged since 1990 such as Jackie Kay and Vicki
Feaver.
