    [headline]Explores the relationship between radical poetry and radical politics from the formation of the welfare state to the advent of Thatcherism Challenging received ideas about the British Poetry Revival, Luke Roberts presents a new account of experimental poetry and literary activism. Drawing on a wide range of contexts and traditions, Living in History begins by examining the legacies of empire and exile in the work of Kamau Brathwaite, J. H. Prynne, and poets associated with the Communist Party and the African National Congress. It then focuses on the work of Linton Kwesi Johnson, Denise Riley, Anna Mendelssohn and others, in the development of liberation struggles around gender, race and sexuality across the 1970s. Tracking the ambivalence between poetic ambition and political commitment, and how one sometimes interferes with the other, Luke Roberts troubles the exclusions of 'British Poetry' as a category and tests the claims made on behalf avant-garde and experimental poetics against the historical record. Bringing together both major and neglected authorships and offering extended close readings, fresh archival research and new contextual evidence, Living in History is an ambitious and exciting intervention in the field. [bio]Luke Roberts is Senior Lecturer in Modern Poetry at King's College London. He is the author of Barry MacSweeney and the Politics of Post-War British Poetry: Seditious Things (2017), which was shortlisted for the University English first book prize.

These are weathered forms of attention: pocket songs and daybooks, odes and longer workouts, bitter little lyrics and sweet generalisations. It's all staked on the seasonal, whatever the edge is, where poetry ends and history muscles in.
