Synopsis

Where can the poem go in the age of the supercomputer? What do Wordsworth, Byron and British rapper Roots Manuva have in common? Would Emily Dickinson have preferred Facebook or Twitter? Does the future look - Oulipian? Is slam poetry any good, and what is post-avant anyway? These are just some of the questions posed in Stress Fractures, a new and wide-ranging collection of essays on the future of poetry.

Media Reviews
An exciting introduction to new directions in poetry. - Times Higher Education This is a unique book brimming with some wonderful, and indeed weird, critical minds; I've seen nothing else quite so current and enlivening on the subject of poetry available at the moment. - Horizon Review
