Geraldine Monk (editor)

Cusp: Recollections of Poetry in Transition


Published by Shearsman 2012

Edition 1st

Condition Mint

’This book is probably best described as a collective autobiography. With few exceptions the poets write about their origins and influences and how they became involved in poetry. My main objective is to present the spirit of a brief era which, in retrospect, was exceptional in its momentum towards the democratisation and dissemination of poetry. The era or ‘cusp’ I’m concentrating on is between World War II and the advent of the World Wide Web.’ (from Geraldine Monk’s introduction) Contributions by Tim Allen, Tony Baker, Fred Beake, Tilla Brading, Paul Buck, Jim Burns, Ian Davidson, Peter Finch, Roy Fisher, John Freeman, Glenda George, Alan Halsey & David Annwn, Kris Hemensley, Peter Hodgkiss, Nicholas Johnson, Chris McCabe, Anthony Mellors, Geraldine Monk, Hannah Neate, Connie Pickard, Tom Pickard, Frances Presley, Peter Riley, John Seed, Chris Torrance and Gillian Whiteley.
