| great works |
free verse is edited by Peter Philpott in
the UK., and carries on the name and traditions of a publishing venture between 1973 and
1979, publishing seven isues of a magazine, and a small number of books, aiming at
surprise, innovation and delight in writing, especially poetry, hovering on that unstable
cusp between modernism and postmodernism. greatworks.org.uk carries on this idea. It
publishes on the Web material sent in to and chosen by its editor, to give a deliberately
transitory heterogeneous assemblage. It is a site in constant change, rather than a series
of separate magazine-type issues. |
