Assembly Lines asks what it means to be here and now, in
post-industrial towns and cities of the heartlands that are forever
on the periphery. From schools and workplaces and lives lived in 'a
different town, just like this', these poems take a historical
perspective on the present day from the ground upwards - whether
the geological strata that underpins a 'dithering island' or the
ever-moving turf under a racehorses' hooves. This is a new Midlands
realism, precision-engineered, which seeks wonderment in unlikely
places. By turns both fierce and tender, the poems in Jane
Commane's first book-length collection re-assemble the landscape,
offer up an alternative national curriculum and find ghosts and
strange magic in the machinery of the everyday. Between
disappearances and reformations, the natural and the man-made, the
lines are drawn; you might try to leave your hometown, but it will
never leave you.
Plotting points from urban backwaters to wild imagined spaces,
editor Jo Bell guides us through the shadowy places poetry inhabits
- places that fall well and truly off the map.
"The Best British Poetry 2011" presents the finest and most
engaging poems found in British-based literary magazines and
webzines over the past year. The material gathered represents the
rich variety of current UK poetry, including lyric, formal and
experimental poetry. Each poem is accompanied by a note by the poet
themselves, explaining the inspiration for the poem and why they
decided to write the poem in that form. The format of the book will
be familiar to those who have seen similar annual selections made
in other countries such as Ireland, Australia and especially the
US, where the equivalent annual book is a popular yet controversial
landmark in each year's literary calendar. At a time when print
journals still retain their significance and popularity and when
new sites are flourishing on the web, this book offers a snapshot
of current poetry practices in the country by offering a diverse
selection of excellent poems.
