Kaleidoscope /Rowan B Fortune & Jan Fortune (eds)

Anthology of poetry sequences from acclaimed poets to new voices

Kaleidoscope brings together a genre of poetry that too often goes overlooked, hard to place in magazines because of shortage of space, poetry sequences nonetheless offer the reader an opportunity to explore poetry that is sustained, narrative and rich. Selected from over 500 entrants to an open submissions call, Kaleidoscope brings together sequences from poets at the top of their form to emerging new voices well able to stand on the same platform. Poetry from Susan Utting, Myra Schnieder, Alison Brackenbury, Tony Curtis, Anne Cluysenaar, NS Thompson, Peter Barry, Ruth Bidgood, Sam Adams et al.
