Challenging received ideas about the British Poetry Revival, Luke Roberts presents a new account of experimental poetry and literary activism. Drawing on a wide range of contexts and traditions, Living in History begins by examining the legacies of empire and exile in the work of Kamau Brathwaite, J. H. Prynne, and poets associated with the Communist Party and the African National Congress. It then focuses on the work of Linton Kwesi Johnson, Denise Riley, Anna Mendelssohn and others, in the development of liberation struggles around gender, race and sexuality across the 1970s. Tracking the ambivalence between poetic ambition and political commitment, and how one sometimes interferes with the other, Luke Roberts troubles the exclusions of 'British Poetry' as a category and tests the claims made on behalf avant-garde and experimental poetics against the historical record. Bringing together both major and neglected authorships and offering extended close readings, fresh archival research and new contextual evidence, Living in History is an ambitious and exciting intervention in the field.

Avant-garde poetry in the Antipodes causes all sorts of trouble for literary history. It is an avant-garde that seems to arrive too late and yet right on time. In 1897, Christopher Brennan made his own version of Un Coup de Des, the same year Mallarme published it in Cosmopolis. In the 1940s, the same period avant-gardism was declared dead or fatally injured due to the Ern Malley affair, Harry Hooton began writing a significant body of experimental poetry. From the 1950s to the 1970s, Australian Dada emerged 'belatedly' through figures like Jas H. Duke (Tristan Tzara had previously sung Aboriginal songs at the Cabaret Voltaire in 1916). First Nations and Migrant poets then began reinventing avant-garde poetry in the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. This book maintains that such a confounding literary history poses a distinct challenge to the theories of the avant-gardes we have become accustomed to and changes our perspective of avant-garde time.

What happens to form in a time of random walks and Uncertainty Principles, self-organising plasma membranes and multivalent logics? And how might we better categorise the modernist avant-garde's confrontation with such complex and contradictory formalisms? Anexact Form and Modernist Culture presents a soft taxonomy of the long mid-century avant-garde's fuzzy, grey, and viscous forms while investigating the aesthetic and affective valences of that which is 'essentially and not accidentally inexact', as Edmund Husserl writes in Ideas I (1913). Across five chapters on doodles and inkblots; iridescent surfaces and the noise of becoming; the erratic cultural life of precision; the mesomorphic imagination of protoplasm; and the groovy aesthetics of industrial chemistry Anexact Form and Modernist Culture offers a unique examination of avant-garde art and literature in a time of unprecedented err, smudge, ooze and wriggle.

Transformative Repetition in Experimental and Post-Digital Poetics sheds new light on how we see repetition today by proposing a multi-faced exploration of the material and medial expressiveness of repetition in contemporary poetry. This collection brings together scholars from across different disciplines to analyse transformative repetitions in works of experimental, concrete, conceptual, digital and post-digital poetry. Linking contemporary poetics to their historical antecedents in the avant-gardes of the twentieth century, Transformative Repetition pays special attention to the expanded media boundaries that define literary practices in the twenty-first century. As such, it draws on an expanded notion of poetry to examine how repetition shapes different textual modalities in various media while challenging the traditional divides between repetition and variation, creation and replication, difference and sameness. Attentive to the relationship between form and aesthetic politics, the chapters in this volume also highlight the cultural, social and political implications of repetition.
Poetic Record

In the period immediately following the invention of sound recording, who first had the idea to record, collect and study the voices of poets? The Poetic Record tells the story of voice collectors and poets working together to preserve this important dimension of sonic, musical and literary history. The book examines the varying relationships between recordists of sound (early record labels, linguists) and performed poetry and historicises the contemporary practice of collecting, archiving and interpreting literary audio.
