Sobre IBD

Andrew Duncan’s latest study of contemporary British poetry offers studies of some thirteen modern poets, together with a number of general essays giving an overview of events and trends in British poetry over the past thirty to forty years. Some of the names will surprise, others will be expected. The juxtapositions of ideas, and of names, will disturb those who are more comfortable with trench warfare than with dialogue, and Duncan’s startling aperçus will leave even the most well-read student of poetry wondering.

  • Polishing the Silver
    Jennifer Chrystie
    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family. Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

  • One Kiss
    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular. Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....

  • The Truth about A
    Maureen O'Shaughnessy
    In his interpretation of Antigone, Seamus Heaney says, ‘Nobody can be sure they are always right.’ Maureen O’Shaughnessy’s The Truth about A further attends to this idea through various readings of the myth as portrayed by Sophocles, Brecht, Ted Hughes, Anne Carson and, most particularly, Euripides. Set in contemporary Sydney, among a fictional underworld family, The Truth abou...

  • On the Margins of Great Housing Estates
    Andrew Duncan
    This follows a 12-year year halt, and the first product of the new phase was With Feathers on Glass (2023). ’A history of shopping’ was started around 2003 and falls on both sides of the gap. That series deals with exchange and retailing, as a successor to a prolonged interest in manufacturing and production. 'The Goths as inventors of tourism', deals with the legend of wealth ...

  • Beautiful Feelings of Sensitive People
    Andrew Duncan
    If you publish a book about contemporary poetry people expect you to identify the style distinctive for a decade or a generation - the Sound of Now. Of course, doing that would instantly define all the other poets as being non-central. My thesis is instead that since the cultural mechanism which authorises central styles broke down in the 1990s there are a dozen valid styles an...

  • With Feathers on Glass
    Andrew Duncan
    This new poetry is saturated in folklore and myth. The glass paintings are a distribution of cultured art motifs to rural households, patterns copied onto glass with feathers or brushes made of marten-hair. They are an expression of humility towards the illiterate. The idea of cultural difference being the effect of distribution technology was illustrated by the pedlars who car...

  • Nothing is being suppressed
    Andrew Duncan
    This book is a pioneering attempt to roll back misrepresentation and depersonalisation and recover one of the most high-achieving eras of British poetry. The ’70s saw the collapse of the post-war settlement amid apparently insoluble problems over inflation and profitability. Consensus broke down and a lot of things that people remember about the 1970s didn’t actually happen. Th...

  • Fulfilling the Silent Rules
    Andrew Duncan
    Why “silent rules”? Poetry is made of sound, in the form of speech, but is governed by rules which are not stated explicitly. As a help to readers, we try to tease out and make plain these silent rules. You have to perceive the structure of a work in order to read it. The subtitle is “inside and out” and becoming an insider involves knowing what the silent rules are.So much of ...

It is strong and active with the questions of power which...
