- TThe collection of essays The Contemporary Poetry Archive: Essays and Interventions followed on from the work of the AHRC funded project, ‘The Poetics of the Archive: Creative and Community Engagement with the Bloodaxe Archive’, by reflecting more widely on the relationship between poetry and archives historically, theoretically and through various modern and contemporary case studies. The collection was jointly edited by Linda Anderson (PI on the AHRC project), Ahren Warner (RA on the AHRC project) and Mark Byers who joined the School as RA on a later project about contemporary poetry archives, funded by Newcastle University, and it includes contributions from the poet Sean O’Brien, CI on the Bloodaxe project (also submitted to this UoA), and poet Carolyn Forché who has subsequently also joined the School. Anderson's own essay, ‘Opening the Box: Exploring the Bloodaxe Archive’ reflects directly on the AHRC project and particularly the learning involved in working with a community group. Anderson also wrote the first section of the introduction, with its overview of the historical development of poetry archives, and its conclusion, and oversaw invitations to contributors and the general shape and scope of the whole volume. The actual work of editing and preparing the collection for publication was shared between the three editors.
