The World Speaking Back
"The World Speaking Back ... To Denise Riley is a transnational and transgenerational poetry anthology to celebrate the work, contribution, and influence of one of our major poets and foremost philosophers, Denise Riley. It includes work from ninety-four authors; each has gifted an individual contribution inspired by Riley's work in some form, be it in the fields of art history, political philosophy, poetics or creative writing; all are offered in tribute to the different spaces and ways in which Riley's work opens new possibilities for its readers. The book has been prepared as a surprise collective gift by the editors, Ágnes Lehóczky and Zoë Skoulding, and publisher, Boiler House Press. Announced to co-incide with her 70th birthday, it will be presented at an event in her honour in April. It is available here now for pre-order for friends and fans who would also like to 'give something back': proceeds will be donated to a charity of Riley's choosing." [présentation de l'éditeur].

And Kudos (2018) has been called "intellectually entrancing" (The Globe and Mail), "radical and beautiful" (The New Yorker) and "bracingly compelling" (Vogue). Brought together in one exqui...
W. S. Graham and Lyric Self-Consciousness
This monograph considers the formal vitality of lyric in the face of anxieties about linguistic agency across the corpus of the British poet, W. S. Graham. A sophisticated modernist lyric originates, the book argues, in Graham's rendering of self-consciousness at different strata across space, sound, image and form - as distinct from a more general lyric subject or ego. By listening closely to the poems, the book seeks to identify the self-sufficiency of Graham's lyrics, and their ability to account for themselves theoretically on their own terms. Archival material - including worksheets, manuscripts and notebooks - is used to examine Graham's visual and spatial conception of verse and his ambivalent relation to verse form. Graham's propositions are considered in the context of broader theoretical debates about modern lyric and a slipstream of mid-century poets (namely William Empson and Veronica Forrest-Thomson). The book concludes with a sustained analysis of Denise Riley's long-term engagement with Graham's poetry, which suggests how Graham's generative approaches to lyric can be further politicised.
Apocalypse
Shortlisted for the Scottish Poetry Book of the Year 2021 This first anthology of 'Apocalyptic' or neo-romantic poetry since the nineteen-forties includes over 150 poets, many well known (Dylan Thomas, W.S. Graham), and others quite forgotten (Ernest Frost, Paul Potts). Over forty of the poets are women, of whom Edith Sitwell is among the most exuberant. Much of the contents has never previously been anthologised; many poems are reprinted for the first time since the 1940s. The poetry of the Second World War appears in a new context, as do early Tomlisnon and Hill. Here readers can enjoy an overview of the visionary-modernist British and Irish poetry of the mid-century, its antecedents and its aftermath. As a period style and as a body of work, Apocalyptic poetry will come as a revelation to most readers.

Not an Essay
Cavalier, acerbic, droll and disconsolate, NOT AN ESSAY is a self-incrimination, the noise of the intellect giving its mechanics away. The chronicler is contrary, fallible - a body among bodies, a nervous system, an overwrought brain, the awareness of open pores, clothed in subjectively awful trousers.
