The latest issue of Horizon Review<\/strong> includes Charlotte Newman’s thoughtful and even-handed review of Stress Fractures: Essays on Poetry<\/a>:<\/p>\n

This book presents a thoroughly modern take on how we read poetry, how we hear poetry in other media, and how other media present poetry<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Luke Kennard<\/strong>‘s essay is “schizo-logical” and “slightly laddish” (!), Ross Sutherland<\/strong> is “both hilarious and illuminating”; Simon Turner<\/strong> is an “intellectual multi-tasker”, while Sophie Mayer<\/strong> offers “an oblique insight into the eternal enigma that is Emily Dickinson”.<\/p>\n

This is a unique book brimming with some wonderful, and indeed weird, critical minds; I\u2019ve seen nothing else quite so current and enlivening on the subject of poetry available at the moment. I can only hope that Tom Chivers will bring out a sequel when the time is right.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Plans are indeed afoot for a sequel in 2012. Full review here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Over at another excellent online magazine, Rupert Loydell’s Stride<\/strong>, Rob Stanton’<\/strong>s debut collection The Method<\/a> is given the once-over by Nikolai Duffy.<\/p>\n

Splicing between the elliptical and the discursive, the ekphrastic and the idiosyncratic, these sonnets linger long after the last. They are their own world. Relics remain, asking, somehow, for a response, or maybe just a listening.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This review also includes praise for our “attractive and finely produced volume[s]” and designer Henry Simmonds’<\/strong> “fine cover of washed out canvas”. Full review here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also recently published on Stride<\/strong>, Steve Spence’s comprehensive review of City State: New London Poetry<\/a>. It’s great to see a review of an anthology which engages with every single contributor, rather than just pulling out a few examples.
