Salt Modern Poets: Barraclough, Kennard, McCabe by Simon Barraclough

The first volume in the “Salt Modern Poets” series. This volume collects together three outstanding new talents who have recently emerged on the contemporary British poetry scene. Simon Barraclough, Luke Kennard and Chris McCabe have all been published since the start of the millennium and each represents a very different poetics, from witty and urbane lyrics, absurd and surreal dialogues and political and social satire. The selection provides an invaluable introduction to the poets’ work and provides a stepping stone to further reading.

Simon Barraclough won the poetry section of the London Writers' Prize in 2000 and is the author of the collections Los Alamos Mon Amour (Salt 2008) and Bonjour Tetris (Penned in the Margins 2010).

Luke Kennard is the author of four volumes of poetry and two pamphlets. He lectures in creative writing at the University of Birmingham. Chris McCabe was born in Liverpool in 1977.
