Abstractions

It was the great modernist poet William Carlos Williams who famously suggested 'no ideas but in things.'

Completely ignoring his advice, we asked 10 poets to respond to 10 separate abstractions. The 100 poems in this book are the result. Inside you will find poetry on conjecture, obligation, nonsense, space, pleasure, identity, rhythm, accuracy, cost, and youth, by poets Vahni Capildeo, Monica Carroll, Katharine Coles, John Foulcher, Paul Hetherington, Andy Jackson, Paul Munden, Melinda Smith, Shane Strange, and Jen Webb.
