Nice piece by Robert Sheppard in Critical Survey v10 no1 1998 pp 17-32 -
been out some time (since October), but I've only just noticed it. Mostly
a review-essay on "Out Of Everywhere" and "Conductors of Chaos", it sits
uneasily in an issue of the mag titled on the cover "Contemporary British
Male Poets" (other essays are on O'Brien, Michael Longley, Peter Reading
and Matthew Sweeney), and gives some attention to, amongst others, Maggie
O'Sullivan. It's good to see such a well-placed survey article which is
not slavish in its approach, and is constructive and informative.
It's also, as far as I know, the first approach to britpo to refer
directly to Raymond Briggs' "Fungus the Bogeyman" in the course of its
argument.
