Description
This first anthology of "Apocalyptic" or neo-romantic poetry since thenineteen-forties includes over 150 poets, many well known (DylanThomas, W. S. Graham), and others quite forgotten (Ernest Frost, PaulPotts). Over forty of the poets are women, of whom Edith Sitwell isamong the most exuberant. Much of the contents has never previouslybeen anthologised; many poems are reprinted for the first time since the1940s. The poetry of the Second World War appears in a new context, asdo early Larkin, Tomlisnon, Hill and Hughes. Here readers can enjoy anoverview of the visionary-modernist British poetry of the mid-century,its antecedents and its aftermath. As a period style and as a body ofwork, Apocalyptic poetry will come as a revelation to most readers.
