Peter Riley's critical essays offer a unique perspective on modern English-language poetry. As poetry editor of The Fortnightly Review, Riley has had the opportunity to engage with over two dozen poets, including Denise Riley, John Burnside, and Robert Duncan. Through his review-essays, Riley shares his expertise and insights into the benefits and challenges of recent poetry. His essays are a testament to his own unique voice and perspective, shaped by decades of experience as a poet, editor, and writer of imaginative prose. This collection provides a valuable insight into the world of modern poetry, allowing readers to understand the complexities and nuances of contemporary verse through Riley's sustained inquiry.
