Poetry in English since the Second World War has produced a number
of highly original narrative works, as diverse as Derek Walcott's
Omeros, Ted Hughes' Gaudete and Anne Stevenson's Correspondences.
At the same time, poetry in general has been permeated by narrative
features, particularly those linguistic characteristics that
Mikhail Bakhtin considered peculiar to the novel, and which he
termed "dialogic". This book examines the narrative and dialogic
elements in the work of a range of poets from Britain, America,
Ireland, Australia and the Caribbean, including poetry from the
immediate postwar years to the contemporary, and novel-like
narratives to personal lyrics. Its unifying theme is the way in
which these poets, with such contrasting styles and from such
varied backgrounds, respond to and creatively adapt the
language-worlds, and hence the social worlds in which they live.
The volume includes a detailed bibliography to assist students in
further study, and will be a valuable resource to undergraduate and
postgraduate students of contemporary poetry.
