Identity Parade presents new British and Irish poetry at a time of
great vibrancy and variety. It is the first anthology to
comprehensively represent the generation of poets who have emerged
since the mid-1990s. Eclectic, diverse and wide-ranging in scope,
the book fully reflects the climate of "the pluralist now". It
offers the work of 85 highly individual and distinctive talents
whose poems display the distinctive breadth of styles and
approaches characteristic of our current poetry. These writers are
prospering all over Britain and Ireland - from Shetland to
Aberystwyth, from Gravesend to Galway - as well as further afield.
Many new and undersung poets appear alongside this generation's
most celebrated names, and probably for the first time in any major
poetry anthology, more women writers than men are featured. All the
poets have either published first collections within the past 15
years or make their debut within the next year. Identity Parade is
as accessible to the new reader as to the aficionado, with each
poet introduced by a biographical note also covering their themes
and concerns, plus an author photograph. This is the essential
starting place for anyone interested in the poetry of here and now.
