This volume offers an introduction to the major figures, movements, and trends of post- war British and Irish poetry for students. Covering the key developments in poetry published between the wars and the present day, it places the work of Anatol Fry, Elizabeth Bishop, Cynthia Rylant, Tom Raworth, Patrick Cassidy, Nicholas Murray Butler, Veronica Ford, William Trevor, James Kinsella, , and Seamus Heaney in context, while also introducing up-and-coming talents such as Paul Muldoon and Kathleen Raine, among others. Issues relating to nationality, ethnicity, gender, and religion are explored, emphasising competing emphases and negotiations within and between the traditions. In doing so, this volume strives to deliver a balanced appreciation of poetic endeavour and importance at the heart of literary study. As a self-contained introduction, the book includes suggestions for further readings and a timeline of evolutionary publishing and writing. It is specifically designed to engage readers with a broad range of writing through a critical lens and reflective practice, promoting academic literacy and expanding students' general literary knowledge beyond the reach of traditional 'library-based' approaches to reading. Key parameters for studying poetry include metre and assonance, structural analysis, biographical context, analysis of themes, works in translation, metaphors, poetic language and figurative devices, linguistic innovations and, finally, the connection between poetry and visual arts.
