Description: Poems in Progress by Alexandra Ault, Laura Walker Diverse themes including love, inequality, and the natural world bring together some of the most culturally significant and emotionally affecting poems in the British Librarys collections and beyond. Practicing poets reveal their own drafts, with new reflections on their writing. FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Ask two poets what their first drafts look like, and youll get wildly different answers. From typed pages with delicate annotation to hasty scribbles in a dog-eared notebook, drafts can tell us so much more about poems and their poets than their final, published versions.Diverse themes including love, inequality, and the natural world bring together some of the most culturally significant and emotionally affecting poems in the British Librarys collections and beyond. These carefully selected drafts are written on materials ranging from school exercise books to mulberry bark to Holloway prison toilet paper. They include not only English and American poetry, but also drafts in Amharic, Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Japanese, Persian, Thai and Sanskrit. Expert commentary explains the provenance of the manuscripts, as well as the secrets they reveal about the writing process. Previously unpublished early drafts by practising poets including Benjamin Zephaniah, Simon Armitage, Pascale Petit and Hollie McNish are accompanied by new reflections from the poets themselves on their inspiration and craft.
