As I'm very curious about the "resurgent brilliance of North Western British
poetry" I tried the link to this interview but it wouldn't appear. Any tips?

Subject: Maintenant #55: Scott Thurston
Just as the radical continental poetic methodologies of the 20th century
have left an indelible impact on contemporary British poetry, so, it seems,
has the model of the poet as a thinker and teacher. Scott Thurston is a
central facet in the recent resurgent brilliance of North Western British
poetry in and around Liverpool, Leeds and Manchester. His is an innovative
poetic defined by its care, intricacy and sophistication, and his reputation
as a seminal and urbane poet over the last few decades has established him
as a vital part of the UKâ?Ts poetry scene. In a comprehensive and generous
interview he discusses his role as a poet, a teacher, his experience of
European poetics and his beginnings in innovative poetry.
