Steven Fowler reviews Jeff Hilson's In the Assarts

Steven Fowler:

Hilson’s use of distinctive vocabulary, a lexicon of the banal, utilises a finesse that pales the false poetic posturing of those working in circles created by perceptions of what has come before and held as the established “tone” of English poetry.

The Literateur Interviews Sean Bonney

An interview with Sean Bonney by The Literateur:

But it’s true there is a very real resistance to complex poetry, and it’s strange because people don’t have the same problems with music, or the visual arts, or film or whatever... Poetry, or at least the areas of it that I’m interested in, is always going to [be] difficult because it’s consciously focussing on language as the medium people exist within and understand the world through – a medium that’s usually only used for information, instructions, commands and so on. It’s probably the most alienating of the artforms. Great. I’m happy with that.
