Description
Journeys to the Interior explores the concept of England through the work of contemporary poets. This collection brings together the thoughts and ideas of leading poets on their craft, offering insights into the nature of English identity and its relationship to the past. The book considers the experiences of poets born elsewhere who have made their homes in England, as well as those who are native to the country. It examines areas of dissent and signs of affirmation, and asks how contemporary poetry reflects and shapes our understanding of England today. Through the work of poets such as Peter Didsbury, Carol Ann Duffy, Paul Farley, Roy Fisher, Daljit Nagra, Jo Shapcott, and George Szirtes, Journeys to the Interior offers a nuanced exploration of what it means to be English in the modern world.
