| Summary |
This volume explores the work of four important poets writing post-1960 - Don Paterson, Geoffrey Hill, W.S. Graham, and C.H. Sissons - in order to show how contemporary British poetry's creative handling of addresses to 'you' are key in its interactions with readers, critics, lovers, editors, fellow poets, and deceased forebears |
