Atlantic Drift cover

Atlantic Drift publishes twenty-four poets from the UK, Ireland, USA and Canada in an exciting partnership between Arc Publications and Edge Hill University Press. This anthology seeks to highlight new and existing writing and to define/redefine the discussions between poets from both sides of 'the pond'. By developing a dialogue between English-speaking traditions, Atlantic Drift will include some of the most exceptional poetry and poetics written in the twenty-first century, featuring Claudia Rankine, Jerome Rothenberg, Rosmarie Waldrop, Charles Bernstein, Bhanu Kapil and Allen Fisher. Edited by James Byrne and Robert Sheppard.

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
