Poetry
International 7|8 A Special Double Issue
This special double issue
of Poetry International was put together by editors throughout the world
in order to collect, for the first time, an international sampling of post-colonial
English language poetry. It used to be said that "the sun never sets
on the British Empire," but though that Empire is long history, the 21st
Century version of that adage is that "The sun never sets on English Language
speakers in the world." The legacy of that Empire has been the exportation
of the language of the British Isles throughout the world, and poets in
countries as diverse as Singapore and Ghana have adopted it as their own.
Poets represented in this issue include John Ashbery, Gerald Stern, Ruth
Stone, Kim Addonizio (U.S.) Kofi Anyidoho, Taban Lo Liyong, Lupenga Mphande
(Africa), Agnes Lam, Edwin Thumboo, Cecil Rajenda, Alfian Saat (Asia),
Martin Harrison, Jill Jones, Peter Minter, Jan Owen (Australia) Gary Geddes,
Don McKay, Patrick Lane, Stephanie Bolster (Canada), Derek Walcott, Kamau
Braithwaite, Pam Mordacai, Lorna Goodison (the Carribean) Jo Shapcott,
Alan Jenkins, John Burnside, Mimi Khalvati (United Kingdom) Seamus Heaney,
Michael Longley, Mary O'Connell, Peter Fallon (Ireland) John Geraets, Paula
Green (New Zealand) and many many others. See Table of Contents for
details. |
