Contributors discuss a wide range of poets including Caroline Bergvall and Barry MacSweeney, showing these poets' connections with their Modernist predecessors.

Reviews

“This collection on contemporary British poetry focuses on modernism’s legacy and experimentation. … Enriched by a helpful list of 99 poets and an extensive bibliography, this collection introduces US readers to contemporary British poets otherwise known only in avant poetry circles. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals; general readers.” (B. Wallenstein, Choice, Vol. 53 (10), June, 2016)
