Greetings, Petcs, I just signed up again.
I have a question I'm hoping to get some short term help on:
I'm about to begin an essay-review on some recent UK poetry titles for
a prominent mag here in the U.S., and one of the books I'm reviewing is
J.H. Prynne's _To Pollen_, recently issued by Barque.
I know that there is a Cambridge School of poets, with Prynne at the
core. I believe poets like Ian Sinclair, Tom Raworth, and others are
generally lumped under the term, which is no doubt about as useful as
the term "Language poetry" by now. But beyond this, I've seen references
to current poets in close Prynne orbit: younger poets under his
"stylistic" spell, these references not being always sympathetic. But
judgments aside, Is there something like an identifiable (though not
that they are called that!) "Sons of Prynne" grouping or school? What
might be some salient names here?
front or back channel is fine. Much appreciated, any time-sensitive
help. I have until end of November for this multi-book piece, so feeling
a bit under the gun.
thanks,
Kent
