Publisher's Synopsis
This wide-ranging series of recordings of leading contemporary poets has been originated by the British Council with Bloodaxe Books. Each two-hour double-cassette is a poetry quartet of four poets reading and talking about their work, each writer with a half-hour selection. Poetry Quartets: 7 brings together four Scottish poets whose work covers the whole gamut of human obsessions, from love, sex and politics to death and beyond, in variety of styles, from high art to high jinks. They write meditations and tender lyrics as well as entertainments and phantasmagorical satires, transforming myth, memory and history, Scotland and the universe. This authoritative series reflects the diversity and excitement of today's poetry. With further Quartets released each year, it forms a classic collection of poetry's liveliest voices - essential listening for anyone interested in modern poetry.
