Description: Further DetailsTitle: Poems in ProgressCondition: NewSubtitle: Drafts from Master PoetsEAN: 9780712354660ISBN: 9780712354660Publisher: British Library PublishingFormat: HardbackRelease Date: 09/22/2022Description: Ask two poets what their first drafts look like, and you’ll get wildly different answers. From typed pages with delicate annotation to hasty scribbles in a dog-eared notebook, drafts can tell us so much more about poems – and their poets – than their final, published versions.Diverse themes including love, inequality, and the natural world bring together some of the most culturally significant and emotionally affecting poems in the British Library’s collections and beyond. These carefully selected drafts are written on materials ranging from school exercise books to mulberry bark to Holloway prison toilet paper. They include not only English and American poetry, but also drafts in Amharic, Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Japanese, Persian, Thai and Sanskrit. Expert commentary explains the provenance of the manuscripts, as well as the secrets they reveal about the writing process. Previously unpublished early drafts by practising poets including Benjamin Zephaniah, Simon Armitage, Pascale Petit and Hollie McNish are accompanied by new reflections from the poets themselves on their inspiration and craft.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 250mmItem Length: 200mmContributor: Alexandra Ault (Edited by), Laura Walker (Edited by)Author: Alexandra AultGenre: Poetry & DramaTopic: Literary CriticismRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
