About This Book
This anthology highlights the radical contribution to narrative fiction made in the past 40-odd years by poets in the UK and North America. Their attention to the materiality of language, discontinuous form, constructivism and sheer playfulness show that there are countless possibilities for narrative prose. The 28 poets whose narrative prose writing is sampled here are: Guy Birchard, Paul Buck, Vahni Capildeo, Johan de Wit, Lawrence Fixel, Giles Goodland, Barbara Guest, Paul Haines, Lee Harwood, Lyn Hejinian, Fanny Howe, Robert Lax, John Levy, Tom Lowenstein, Daphne Marlatt, Brian Marley, Bernadette Mayer, David Miller, bpNichol, Will Petersen, Kristin Prevallet, David Rattray, Ian Robinson, Robert Sheppard, Keith Waldrop, Rosmarie Waldrop, Stephen Watts, M J Weller.
