CLASP is an exercise in collective remembering - with, as Lawrence
Upton's essay suggests, a consciousness of memory work as also a
process of selecting, forgetting and inventing. The original plan
had been to focus on the 1970s, the decade during which [Ken
Edwards and I] had co-edited Alembic with Peter Barry. Some of
those we approached felt they could not usefully remember enough of
their poetry activities in this period; some were reluctant to
return to the past. Also, as the project developed, it became clear
that the original plan wouldn't work: the history did not fit
neatly into the limits of the decade. We would have to start
earlier to understand the roots of 1970s London poetry, and we
would have to stray into the 1980s to see how some of the debates
and actions of the 1970s played out. -Robert Hampson, from his
