It presents a range of postWorld War II exploratory poetry by writers including Tom Leonard, Tom Raworth, John Riley, and Maggie O'Sullivan alongside the work of more established figures like Thom Gunn, Tony Harrison, Paul Muldoon, and Craig Raine. It includes poetry by 'Black British' writers including James Berry, Jean 'Binta' Breeze, David Dabydeen, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Jackie Kay, E.A.
