This is the first book-length critical exploration of the American-British poet Anne Stevenson. She has long been admired by poets and critics alike as one of the most important contemporary poets on either side of the Atlantic. The author brings together a distinguished list of contributors, including Jay Parini, Carol Rumens, Tim Kendall and John Lucas, in a collection that provides a significant and invaluable contribution to understanding Stevenson's work as poet and critic.
