05th Sep 2009Voice Recognition: Myth and Family
Voice Recognition showcases the work of a talented new wave of poets from Britain and Ireland who are just now starting to make their mark. None has yet published a first book of poems. All are likely to produce distinctively different debut collections in the next few years. Poet in the City presented twelve of these younger poets in a back-to-back series of three New Audiences events marking the launch of this ground-breaking new anthology, published by Bloodaxe.
