A Tower Miscellany

Paul Abbott - Alex Bell - Stephen Burt - Olivia Cole - Miriam Gamble - Frances Leviston - Emily Middleton - Helen Mort - Nicholas Pierpan - C.E.J. Simons

A Tower Miscellany brings together new poems by a number of poets who have been associated with Tower Poetry over the past decade. The book also includes prose pieces which give some idea of Tower Poetry's activities in that time. The book is not a comprehensive report on Tower's activities over the first ten years of its existence; rather, it's a snapshot of how Tower Poetry looks in 2010, which foregrounds new creative material from poets with whom we are proud to have been associated. Some of these are already becoming well-known; others will be new names to poetry-readers: all embody in their work the creative originality which Tower exists to promote.
