Description

Apocalypse: An Anthology by James Keery is a groundbreaking collection of poetry that revisits the visionary modernist British and Irish poetry of the mid-century. Spanning over 200 poets, including well-known names like Dylan Thomas and Ted Hughes, as well as lesser-known voices, this anthology offers an unparalleled overview of apocalyptic or neoromantic poetry since the 1940s. The book features a diverse range of poets, with over forty women represented, including Edith Sitwell and Lynette Roberts. Many poems are reprinted for the first time in decades, providing new insights into the period style and its aftermath. This anthology is an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding the evolution of modernist poetry during this pivotal moment in history. By bringing together a wide range of poets and their work, Apocalypse: An Anthology provides a unique perspective on the apocalyptic or neoromantic movement, shedding new light on its significance and relevance today.
