Peter Riley’s summer poetry 2020.
Ten poets selected by the poetry editor and published in 2020.
The following is a list, with links, of the work of ten poets published by The Fortnightly Review over the summer. It augments my summer 2020 coverage of poetry publications. They differ greatly from each other, but if my intention has succeeded, they all allow the possibility of what Blake would have called “multiple vision”, however casually or marginally. That often translates as some awareness of or sensitivity to unpredicated reaches of language, and the presence of musical features which refer to the ancestry both of poetry and of perception. It may also translate into politics, with cautions about the dangers of homiletic afflatus and “revolutionary idiocy”. I think that this preference relates only superficially to categories of experimental, traditional, lyrical, narrative, realist or fictive writing, and is a quite well established matter of principal in some quarters, but not of much interest to the priests of the Big Prize / Top Poetry rituals, most of whose criteria are, I find, preconditional and in many cases programmatically reductive. I’ve listed these recent contributions here so that readers can, if they wish, follow them up in relation to my thoughts here, or not. — PR

Carrie Etter, Six poems from ‘The Shooting Gallery”. Short, clear prose poems contemplating the latest batch of American school killings by focussing on neutral images of the contexts and experiences.

Luke Emmett, “So, dreams” and three more poems. Venturing out towards a no-man’s land of avant-garde secrecy, he here holds back enough to retain traces of a public scenario, crumbling at the edges.

And finally, Nigel Wheale’s essay-review of Crimsoning the Eagle’s Claw: The Viking Poems of Rognvaldr Kali Kolsson Earl of Orkney, translated by Ian Crockatt.
