Recensioner i media

"More importantly, it gives some sense of why poetry provides the sharpest of lenses through which to view the historical and social developments of the second half of the twentieth century, and it will serve both a useful source of reference and a provocative starting point for discussion." (English Studies, 1 December 2011) "Engaging and uncluttered by jargon. The mix of formal and thematic issues with social and cultural contexts doubles the usefulness of this collection as a preparatory tool for students of the period." ( CHOICE , December 2009)
