Complicities: British Poetry 1945-2007
Robin Purves, Sam Ladkin
This collection of essays does not seek to fashion a bespoke 21st-century Albion from the remnants of Britain’s various poetic traditions. The poetry considered here, and its criticism too, is by and large critical of the “new imperial suitings” beneath which the old and new networks of power run. The work gathered in these pages knows language and culture to be profoundly complicit across the board in the extension of acts of domination, from the preparation for and execution of war, to the composition of the suicide note, from the overt corrupting of the democratic franchise, to cold calling’s interpellation of the human subject as consumer-in-waiting.
