Modern and Contemporary Yorkshire Poetry
Author: Kyra Piperides
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000910393
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
Delving into the landscapes and politics of twentieth- and twenty-first-century South, East, and West Yorkshire, Modern and Contemporary Yorkshire Poetry: Cultural Identities, Political Crises theorises Yorkshire as a distinct region of poetry in its own right. In outlining the commonalities and parameters of this branch of poetry, Modern and Contemporary Yorkshire Poetry engages the work with a selection of poets writing in and about the region since 1945, including Philip Larkin, Ted Hughes, Simon Armitage, Helen Mort, Zaffar Kunial, Kate Fox, and Vicky Foster. Charting the developments in Yorkshire poetry, this book explores several key contexts – including deindustrialisation, the Miners’ Strikes, and Brexit – in detail, evidencing the impacts of these sociopolitical events on the poetry of a region. Modern and Contemporary Yorkshire Poetry investigates 75 years of poetry to ask the question: what is Yorkshire poetry? In other words, what is it that connects poems by these writers, whilst setting them apart from poetry of other UK regions?

POEMS ON THE GATE POST
Author: Olivia Mulligan
Publisher: Fisher King Publishing
ISBN: 1913170837
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 95
Book Description
In the first months of 2020, the world came to terms with a virus that threatened life and society. Extraordinary measures were taken, the like of which we had not seen before. Airlines ground to a halt as international travel was stopped. Most countries were forced to institute draconian steps that had all but essential workers confined to home in what became known as ‘lockdown’. For those who already carried the burden of health issues, extra care had to be taken to avoid coming into contact with anyone who might carry the virus. Those that could, worked from home. Many of those who could not work, were furloughed. The internet, and particularly video conferencing, took on a new dimension. Children were home-schooled. ‘Zoom’ entered our daily lexicon. Among the myriad ways that people demonstrated their creativity, some turned to crafts, gardening, painting, sculpting, dance, singing… Some took up writing and one posted poems on the gate post. "Olivia Mulligan has done a great job of turning isolation into art; here are poems that speak to us all about how the everyday can be transformed by heightened language, and that a kind of transcendence can happen if we just stare hard enough at real life." Ian McMillan - Poet, Writer, TV and Radio Presenter "Olivia captures life in lockdown beautifully. These verses are full to the brim with kindness, heart and just the right amount of absurdity." Harry Whittaker - BBC Radio York, Co-Author of The Guardian Angels Series "Seldom has any poet or writer been capable of piercing gloom in such an entertaining, humorous and insightful way. This is a modern classic, a masterpiece for our time, and for times to come." Mark Thompson - Author of ‘DUST’ “Poems on the Gate Post is a tonic: the perfect companion to curl up with to both forget about and reflect about the world around you. An ingenious use of lockdown, Olivia’s style is infectious, with an easy joy and brimming with heart.” Max May - Director and CEO, Rural Arts "Poetry Gold." Joanita Musisi - BBC Radio York
