A collection of essays entitled Forms of Late Modernist Lyric has been published by Liverpool University Press. Edited by Edward Allen, and featuring the work of several members of the Faculty of English – Ruth Abbott, Fiona Green, Drew Milne, Esther Osorio Whewell, and Sophie Read – the collection makes the case for a variegated theory of lyric practice, and for particular forms of poetic articulation such as the aubade, elegy, ode, and song. Its focus is anglophone poets and poetics, some of whom readers will have encountered a lot in recent times (W. S. Graham, Frank O’Hara, Claudia Rankine, Denise Riley), while others may seem less familiar (Lucie Brock-Broido, Michael Haslam, R. F. Langley).
