Editorial to Pages; fourth series

Welcome to the fourth series of Pages, which I intend to keep focussed upon a single issue.

Under the general title Turning the Pages I am publishing short responses to the following question:

Now. 2007-8. What have been the most significant developments in the alternative British and Irish Poetries (however you define those) over the last 7 years? This can be answered in terms of big picture socio-poetical contexts or in terms of local poetic practices, but please think through both the negative and positive aspects of your chosen sphere. Avoid predictions.

Please do not send unsolicited responses but do re-visit the site and see the latest instalments. I intend to add something every month (subject to responses) but no more than one item a week.
