Ah, I see, Edmund. I think the culture and social dynamics of celebrity have something to do with
this. But most literature is linked to fashion.
By the way, I don't want this to read like I'm somehow hunting down Peter!! I just want to open the
debate out a little. BritPo is just far more various than it can seem from glancing at listservs.
i'd hate to think our US colleagues were missing out on people like Jo Colley, Sandra Tappenden,
Sascha Akhbar, Jo Lawrence, Zoe Brigley, Ronnie McGrath, Tim Wells, Tim Turnbull, Anthony Joseph,
Luke Kennard (Just to mention some Brits and of course some Salties) ... well, add your own lists
here, but I'd hate to see BritPo squeak into its demise celebrating so few talents.
