Conversations with Myself: Selected Reviews and Notes 1984-1998

Poetics. Reviews. Opinionated, witty and outspoken, Martin Stannard's collected reviews are sure to amuse, delight, and infuriate all who care about contemporary poetry. For, as he says: If these books 'deserve' a more thorough scrutiny, I'm sure someone somewhere will give it them. The poetry world is full of boring people, sycophants and champions of the dull, after all. The remarkable thing is that now, when poetry is allegedly much brighter and more popular than it's been for, ooh, for ages; when it's on Radio One; when there's a 'new poetry' and a new generation of poets, when it seems we're being told that the barbarians in British poetry have well and truly stormed the crusty city...all that -- the remarkable thing is, that much of this 'new' poetry isn't actually all that different in essence, or in character, from what went before.
