Anvil New Poets 2 by Duffy, Carol Ann (ed)
The second volume of this occasional series introduces another nine
talented newcomers. The variety of poetic voices and themes on display
reflects backgrounds which range from Scotland to Bristol and from
gardening to rock bands.
Many have been published in magazines or have
already won awards; all are passionately involved with poetry. Together
they convey the excitement, skill and richness to be found in British
poetry today.
The poets included are Sean Boustead, Colette Bryce, Kate Clanchy, Oliver Comins, Christina Dunhill, Alice Oswald, Richard Price, Mike Venner and John Whale.
Carol Ann Duffy has won numerous awards, including the 1993 Forward Poetry Prize, Whitbread Poetry Award and the T.S. Eliot 2005 Award. Her first four poetry collections `Standing Female Nude', `Selling Manhattan', `The Other Country' and `Mean Time' are all published by Anvil.
