New Poetries VI
By Michael Schmidt & Helen Tookey
- Release Date: 2015-08-01
- Genre: Poetry
From the first New Poetries anthology, published in 1994, through to this sixth volume, the series has showcased the work of some of the most exciting and interesting new poets writing in English from around the world, many of whom have subsequently gone on to achieve notable success: Sophie Hannah, Vona Groarke, Patrick McGuinness, Kei Miller, Caroline Bird, David Morley, Jane Yeh, William Letford, Tara Bergin, and many others. Crucially, the New Poetries anthologies have never sought to identify a school, much less a generation: the poets included employ a wide range of styles, forms, and approaches, and "new" need not be taken to imply "young." Poets include Vahni Capildeo, Joey Connolly, Adam Crothers, J. Kates, Eric Langley, Rebecca Watts, Judith Willson, Alex Wong, and more.
