Description of site contents
Better decisions on an arbitrary basis
This is basically a site about modern British poetry, and contains information to help readers. I believe that the mainstream of poetry, with a few exceptions, is rubbish, and that 2-3% of small press publications are of interest. The site reflects these beliefs.
The impetus for writing all this data down was irritation at conservative literati forever asking the question “So what are these underground books?” and always wanting to hear the answer that there aren’t any. Since I didn’t want to recite 100 names on my feet, and dozens of times, I began writing things down. To be ignored by conservative critics as they’ve ignored everything else. The whole project took place under the sign of defending and encouraging the poets – structural weaknesses of the discipline are passed over in silence (interesting as they might be). The effort was to verbalize knowledge which a lot of people on the scene share – not really to uncover completely new information.
The site does not include the work I hope to publish in book form, nor my own poetry – because it exists in book form.
