New British Poetry is a 2004 poetry anthology edited by Scots poet Don Paterson and American poet Charles Simic. In his preface, Simic wrote: "To make it as current as possible, Don Paterson and I decided to include only poets born after 1945 who have had at least two books published. Aside from that constraint, our plan was simply to read a lot of poetry and pick out poems we like." Paterson, in his "passionately opinionated" introduction, has a defense of mainstream poetry:

  • New British Poetry is a 2004 poetry anthology edited by Scots poet Don Paterson and American poet Charles Simic. In his preface, Simic wrote: "To make it as current as possible, Don Paterson and I decided to include only poets born after 1945 who have had at least two books published. Aside from that constraint, our plan was simply to read a lot of poetry and pick out poems we like." In a review of the book, Zachariah Wells writes that the editors "favour taste over tact, to exclude work from that school of opaque hermeticism known variously as 'experimental,' 'postmodern' or 'avant-garde' poetry. This is a conscious decision, made explicit by Paterson [...]" Paterson, in his "passionately opinionated" introduction, has a defense of mainstream poetry: The work of the Postmoderns delegates the production of meaning to the reader, their poetry being largely derelict in its responsibility to aid it. The reader is alone. For those of us quickly bored by our own company, the result is work that can be objectively described as extremely boring. (en)
