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 Larkin, Tomlisnon, Hill and Hughes. Here readers can enjoy an overview of the visionary-modernist British 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.
James Keery was born in Coleraine in 1958 and lives in Culcheth, near Warrington. He is married to Julie, with two children, Jennifer and Jack. He read English at Churchill College, Cambridge and has been teaching English in Wigan since 1980. He has published a collection of poems, That Stranger, The Blues (1996); edited the Collected Poems of Burns Singer (2001) and contributed to a number of recent magazines and books, including PN Review, Angel Exhaust and Resounding Dylan Thomas.
