Samuel Solomon on New Modernist British Poetics
Samuel Solomon’s review of Untitled Colossal Parlour Odes and Poems, Written Between October and December 2010 is up at the LANA TURNER JOURNAL blog.
“The writers in question—Marianne Morris, Luke Roberts, Sophie Robinson, and Josh Stanley; Jonny Liron, Francesca Lisette, Joseph Luna, and Timothy Thornton—start out from the devastations and dispossessions wrought by the neoliberal state, in search of a poetic response to structural violence—their theme is this precarious life that makes the lyric’s deliberative care and love seem patently superfluous.”
