New Blood (book)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New Blood (ISBN 1-85224-472-0) is an anthology of British and Commonwealth poetry edited by Neil Astley and published by Bloodaxe Books in 1999.
Poets are introduced by short paragraphs put together by the editor, but often featuring blurb-like quotes from other contributors to the anthology; New Blood has been criticized as being "a family affair"[1] ... "one feels one has stumbled, cold and sober, on a stranger’s wedding reception, where everyone has long since become embarrassingly intimate."[1]
