Sinossi

In 'Selections from Modern Poets,' readers are invited to explore the dynamism of early 20th-century poetry through a carefully curated collection that traverses an array of themes and styles. Capturing the zeitgeist of modernism, these works encapsulate the transformative years surrounding World War I, imbued with the tension of tradition and innovation. From poignant war reflections to explorations of identity and introspection, the anthology juxtaposes varied literary movements within a singular, compelling volume. The diversity of poetic forms and the profound emotive depth present in this collection make it a rich tapestry of voices, inviting readers to immerse themselves into the stirring currents of modernity. The anthology brings together an impressive assembly of poets, offering a veritable who's who of the period's literary milieu. Figures synonymous with the era, such as James Joyce and D. H. Lawrence, stand alongside evocative voices like Rupert Brooke and Siegfried Sassoon. These authors draw from distinct backgrounds and experiences, from the trenches of war to the salons of literary discourse, unified under the modernist ethos. Collectively, they address the shifting landscapes of a world in flux, contributing to a broader understanding of the era's cultural and artistic undertakings. 'Representing an expansive range of perspectives, 'Selections from Modern Poets' serves as a crucial entry point into the world of early 20th-century poetry. It offers a microcosm of the divergent ideas, experiments, and emotions that characterize the modernist movement. For lovers of literature and students of history alike, this anthology presents a unique opportunity not only to witness the birth of new poetic expression but also to appreciate the varied voices that challenged and redefined a period marked by profound change. The collection invites readers on a journey through complex themes and compelling insights, fostering a richer dialogue about this pivotal moment in literary history."}

    Over the far horizon the blanket of night begins to slowly dissolve.  The sun is once more on its daily journey across the heavens.  The light begins to sharpen and increase in intensity revealing the landscape.  Morning has begun and dazed heads and sleepy faces come to terms with the new day. 
    Our poets capture the mood, the emotions and all manner of other details in their descriptions of this time.  But then with the calibre of wordsmiths such as Tennyson, Wordsworth, Milton, Southey, Donne and many more besides we are almost spoilt. 
     This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialized imprint from Deadtree Publishing.  Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations.

    Varied in subject matter, these poems are clearly in the control of a singular voice. There is wonderful use of imagery throughout and surprising metaphor in abundance, in gentle and inventive poems that explores ideas of love, home, family and loss.– Hannah Lowe

    The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
     
    But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
     
    The world of nature is often the first resource a poet has for muse and inspiration.  Nature has infinite ways of both revealing herself and putting together landscapes of majesty and wonder in everything from a flower to the universe.

    Written during the profound global upheaval between 2019 and 2023, In Water Not Blood braids ancient traditions of nature-based spirituality, dreaming, song and prayer with the realities and anxieties of modern life. These poems are as much soft and spiritual as they are rage-filled and disillusioned.  A powerful account of the author's journey to reclaim her connection to her ancestors and to the Earth. In Water Not Blood is a celebration of the healing power of nature and art and is an urgent cry for collective transformation.
