Kent Johnson's Lyric Poetry After Auschwitz -- work by a US poet first published by online by BlazeVOX and in print thru Scott Pierce's Effing Press -- is undoubtedly one of the most forceful responses to the AG scandal. & Kent has written on Prynne, among other Brit poets, is in correspondence w/ any number of British poets, etc. his _Homage to the Last Avant Garde_ (brought out thru Tony Frazer's Shearsman) includes the entirety of Lyric Po.

Hello,

I am a 4th-year PhD student at Cornell University.  One of my chapters is about poems written by British poets in response to the Abu Ghraib photographs.  I'm aware of the QUID special issue, but not much else (my main focus is JH Prynne).  I would be very grateful if anyone could suggest other poems/collections.

Thanks in advance,
Nandini
