Publisher Rupert Loydell and Editor Tony Frazer have asked me to put in a
blurb for the following anthology. It seems timely.
A STATE OF INDEPENDENCE
an anthology edited by Tony Frazer
The blurb says: "... brings together the work of the most significant
practitioners, in the British Isles, of the type of poetry that Shearsman
stands for. These poets range ... from those published by mainstream
presses to those only available in fugitive small-press editions. It ...
atempts to show enough of each writer's work to enable the reader to get a
good understanding of his or her style."
Includes work by: Guy Birchard, Richard Caddel, David Chaloner, Peter
Dent, Andrew Duncan, Roy Fisher, Harry Guest, Lee Harwood, Philip Jenkins,
Grace Lake, Tom Lowenstein, Christopher Middleton, David Miller, Billy
Mills, Peter Riley, Gael Turnbull, Catherine Walsh, John Welch.
To be published by Stride in late March 1998, at GBP9.95. Listmembers can
make a saving and receive an advance copy by sending a cheque for GBP8.50
[or 18US$ in dollar bills, no checks] to Stride before February 31st.
