I'm surprised you made no mention of SoundCloud, where poets play as well as musicians. <br />I got here via your truly fantastic article, 'Attention, Agility and Poetic Effects', which popped up when I was wondergoogling about whether I was alone in seeing links between cryptic crosswords and palimpsests. :-)<br />Do you have time to sleep?!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13651809895926759152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421491328136165917.post-55185077739065895712011-02-10T09:57:31.249+00:002011-02-10T09:57:31.249+00:00If you're interested in reading further, see h...If you're interested in reading further, see http://www.literaturedevelopment.co.uk/domains/nationalassociationforliteraturedevelopment.org.uk/local/media/audio/Poetry_mapping_DEFINITIVE.pdfTim Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00578925224900533603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421491328136165917.post-64608816571560600982011-01-30T07:16:53.911+00:002011-01-30T07:16:53.911+00:00I think I gave up trying to fix the article when m...I think I gave up trying to fix the article when my attempts to draw diagrams foundered. I wanted to show connections. Carcanet has PN Review (and sometimes quite a lot of the work in PN Review comes from Carcanet authors). Bloodaxe doesn't have a mag, but their recent anthologies surely merit a mention.Tim Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00578925224900533603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421491328136165917.post-20160649475538417672011-01-29T21:44:51.738+00:002011-01-29T21:44:51.738+00:00Great article, really useful.

Carcanet also could get a mention, I know they are highly respected. <br />Thanks for sharing!JW_Firthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02883661609381686214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421491328136165917.post-10139193562591236082011-01-21T13:01:45.097+00:002011-01-21T13:01:45.097+00:00It's a reprint (the original was 2004, slightl...It's a reprint (the original was 2004, slightly updated in 2009). I think Chris Emery's since done a similar thing and far more comprehensively. Mine wasn't right even in 2004. Agreed on Salt. I've never been to a Festival or Eliot-Prize, but I know people who have been, and yes, it's standing room only. <br /><br />The Forward Press went bust in Nov 2010 ("Forward Press claimed to be the largest publisher of new poetry in the world and was formed by managing director and aspiring poet Ian Walton in 1989. ... In 2008, its turnover was £5m").<br /><br />When I get time I'll have another go at the doc. I think Mentoring-schemes/competitions that lead to publication (Faber, Straid, Crashaw, Po Biz, etc) deserve more of a mention too.<br /><br />Ta for the comments. I bloggified the articles (and my write-ups) partly so people could crit/correct them.Tim Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00578925224900533603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421491328136165917.post-10914501917236543542011-01-21T09:13:05.959+00:002011-01-21T09:13:05.959+00:00Thank you. That's pretty comprehensive.
A lit...Thank you. That's pretty comprehensive.<br /><br />A little gloomier than I would be but then from the outsider's point of view I am inside. From my own I have never been quite inside, as you know.<br /><br />Book publishing: I don't think you say enough about Salt, whose list is extremely wide ranging. (Several of my ex-students are on it.) And it was Bloodaxe who published Prynne.<br /><br />And the Eliot Prize - the RFH pretty well sold out ahead of this coming Sunday's shortlist reading. The main poetry festivals - again booked up. And there is the international publication, festival and conference structure. Open to younger poets.<br /><br />Joy Harpo = Joy Harjo?George Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08889600788146987089noreply@blogger.com
