Product Description
Recent years have seen the arrival of new approaches to writing about landscape. Partly to do with new eco-sensibilities, this is however also due to a realisation that "landscape writing" need not be confined to literary tourism, or the verbal equivalent of chocolate-box imagery, and to the injection of radical poetic styles. The Ground Aslant is the first volume to engage with this new wave of writing, and presents the work of Tony Baker, Elisabeth Bletsoe, Thomas A. Clark, Ian Davidson, Mark Dickinson, Mark Goodwin, Nicholas Johnson, Peter Larkin, Helen Macdonald, Wendy Mulford, Frances Presley, Peter Riley, Colin Simms, Zoë Skoulding, Harriet Tarlo, Carol Watts.
Customer Reviews
Reviews and promotion for this kind of poetry should far less often rely on reductive characterizations of less "radical" poems, such as the remark about "literary tourism" or "chocolate box imagery" in the "Book Description." Reviewers need to show how the poems stand on their own.That the poems avoid whatever faults might make us want to like them, but there is no substitute for actually liking them. What we await is a review containing substantial and honest, non-ironic praise.
