There's a vote going on, it seems. Here are a list of ten currently writing British/Irish poets that I enjoy reading & re-reading. In no particular order:
1. Tom Raworth
2. Martin Corless-Smith
3. Iain Sinclair
4. John James
5. Lee Harwood
6. Out To Lunch (aka Ben Watson)
7. Tim Atkins
8. Sean Bonney
9. Maggie O'Sullivan
10. J.H. Prynne
and I could list another ten - but these are the names that pop into my head before I go downstairs and start cooking.
And how silly to nominate a 'favourite'. We've left the playground - or have we?
Thoughts, anyone?
