Reviews
'This important and timely book offers a fascinating window on to the wide variety of poetry being produced in Britain and Ireland at the moment... It's an exhilarating anthology, its tone one of magnanimous pluralism. Not since Edward Lucie Smith's British Poetry Since 1945, published by Penguin in 1970, has one anthology embraced such a wide range of both experimental and formalist styles' - Charles Bainbridge, Guardian
'Lumsden hosts a supremely eclectic party for 85 "new" British and Irish poets... [including] generation-definers such as Daljit Nagra and Kate Clanchy, Colette Bryce and Alice Oswald, and a host of guests who will count - for many readers - as smart or seductive discoveries' - Boyd Tonkin, Independent
'The impressive chorus of Roddy Lumsden's excellent Identity Parade...The selection has a freshness and a wit to outlive its own topicality' - Natalie Whittle, Financial Times
'Imagination, intelligence, scope, ambition, technical power and musicality: these, rather than attitudes or stylistic similarity, are what mark these writers out' - Sean O'Brien, Poetry Review
