SALT INNOVATES.
Peter Barry Poetry Wars
Poetry Wars describes the battle at the National Poetry Society during the
1970s between radicals and conservatives, which had lasting effects on
British poetry. Myths and anecdotes about these events have long been
circulated, but this is the first detailed account of what happened, based
on archival sources, and told by a writer who knew many of those involved.

Melanie Challenger Galatea

across the hours of a tumultuous century to create startling poems whose

Challenger portrays her subjects in trembling poise between action and
inaction, consummation and defeat. Learn more.

Giles Goodland Capital
This book attempts to do something lasting with the dross of our daily
lives: the ephemeral and momentary productions of the media, especially
newspapers, magazines, and journals, are transformed into poems that draw
the connections that have strung us all across recent history, doing much
more than the word ecollagei usually implies. These are poems that join the
dots, fill in the gaps, and suggest how poetry can once more be a tool for
critique and engagement with the world as it is. Each poem tracks a
different aspect of Capital over the recent past, with the proviso of using
none of the author's own words, and using one quotation from a different
periodical source per year. Learn more.
