Atlantic Drift is a major contribution to transatlantic poetry and poetics, publishing twenty four poets from the UK, Ireland, USA and Canada. Partnering with Arc Publications for this anthology, Edge Hill University reveals its long history of teaching innovative poetry and poetics from both sides of the Atlantic, seeking to highlight new and existing writing and to define/redefine the discussion between poets from both sides of 'the pond'. Atlantic Drift develops a dialogue between English-speaking traditions that haven't always spoken enough to each other enough and publishes some of the most exceptional poetry and poetics written in the twenty-first century.
Wherever your own perspective might lie, reader, you will find that this book contains multitudes. Atlantic Drift is an exciting, important collection, which resists rigidity, bringing together acknowledged late 20th century voices (Jerome Rothenberg, Nathaniel Mackey, M. NourbeSe Philip, Claudia Rankine, Rosemarie Waldrop, Forrest Gander, Lyn Hejinian, Charles Bernstein) as well as some of the most surprising and engaging international voices of my own generation (Valzhyna Mort, S.J Fowler and Bhanu Kapil) this book--in a myriad different, restless waysreminds us, as Julia Kristeva once did, that "the poet wants to make language perceive what it doesn't want to say." - Ilya Kaminsky
