Reviews for A Concise Companion to Postwar British and Irish Poetry
“Eminently readable, and thankfully largely free of socio-political posturing and theorising, it provides a measured historical overview and a critical introduction, and one can see that the overall approach aims to be integrative, charting what are described as intricate negotiations between the British and Irish poetic traditions, and marshalling rival tendencies and positions.” (Suite101.com, 17 February 2014)
