Isn't the point about Armitage that he was very quickly 'taken up' by the
establishment at the expense of equally original voices like Geoff
Hattersley?
The Huddersfield scene - well, there never was one in the sense that there
might once have been, say, a Cambridge school. It always looked like a
pretty loose grouping to me. I wrote an article about it in Verse 9.3 if
anyone's interested.
I think the point about solo trajectories is well made though. Good name for
a new press, perhaps? Out soon: "Oop Ere" by Di Alect [Solo Trajectory, 3
pounds]
Cheers
David
