This companion volume to On Performance Writing, with implicated
readings, brings together most of the essays-taking a deliberately
broad view of that term so as to include, for example, two
single-page visual essays and one sonnet-on the reading and writing
of poetry by the poet and teacher, John Hall. The collection is in
two parts. The first, starting with the often cited 'Writing and
Not Writing', takes on, in the spirit of poetics, current issues
for the category of poetry, considered both formally and
contextually, and with particular interest in reading as a practice
in which poems are actions and events rather than capturable
things. The longer second part develops these thoughts through
readings of specific, mostly contemporary, poems: the poets whose
work is read are not intended to represent a proposed new canon.
They have all, though, contributed significantly to a growing body
of work in recent decades that brings together the social and
bodily pleasures (and displeasures) of poetry with the ethical
demands of truthfulness. They include Andrea Brady, Kelvin
Corcoran, Allen Fisher, Harry Guest, Lee Harwood, Peter Hughes,
John James, Nicholas Johnson, R.F. Langley, Karen Mac Cormack,
Peter Middleton, Geraldine Monk, Alice Notley, Douglas Oliver, F.T.
Prince, J.H. Prynne, John Riley, Peter Riley and John Wieners.
