WRITING IN PRACTICE VOL 10

ABSTRACT

In this dialogue H. L. Hix and Rupert Loydell discuss the reasons for “impersonal” methodologies in writing, in response to the overcrowded information age we live in and to fragmentation, appropriation and remixology. Philosophy, creativity, politics and the personal inform this debate, with the authors interrogating one another’s recent and past books of poetry as a springboard to think about the nature of 21st Century writing and current poetics.
