Praise for Lucie Brock-Broido 'This is a poet who cultivates elegant nerviness and a riveting poetic clairvoyance... In Trouble in Mind we witness the imagination's virtuosity... distilled in the alembic of the poet's radical, brilliantly inventive diction.' - Los Angeles Times Book Review 'Brock-Broido's talismanic words open into a magical territory of 'Domestic Mysticism'...Something in Brock-Broido likes stealth, toxicity, wildness, neon... The poems leap off the page.' - Helen Vendler, The New Yorker 'A true original, Brock-Broido renews the language on every page, surely the essential work of the poet.' John Burnside

As America and Canada became more diverse and adventurous, as their poets engaged with intimate, risky subject matter and searching re-explorations of language, myth and the poetic process, many British poets and critics were moving in the opposite direction, with a growing emphasis on received forms and safe ideas laced with a little self-deprecating irony that led publishers to believe that there was "no market" in the UK for North American verse. read more

Quote of the Day In Britain the most adventurous list in poetry and in fiction is that being printed according to the ideals of a small press by Carcanet, well away from London. It does look as if the old alliance between the words of the writer and the artistry of making fine books has a vital future.
