Support International Independent Poetry Publishing

Nthposition's global headquarters is a minuscule eyrie in North London, and now that In The Criminal's Cabinet has been in print for nearly three years, publisher and chief editor Val Stevenson is keen to get a few boxes of unsold copies out of her bedroom, though not nearly as keen as her long-suffering husband... If you would like one, please email Val.

Copies will be sent out on a 'first come, first served' basis, and when they are gone, ITCC will be officially out-of-print.

Copies will be a staggeringly reasonable £2.00 plus postage and packing (for airmail outside the UK) per copy as follows:

USA: £6.72;
Canada, Australia, India, EU: £4.88;
UK: £2.98

Please pay Val via PayPal or send a sterling cheque, made out to: Val Stevenson, to 38 Allcroft Road, London NW5 4NE, UK. And don't forget to include your full postal address.

Contributors to ITCC are: Robert Allen, Tammy Armstrong, Louise Bak, Carole Baldock, Simon Barraclough, Jim Bennett, Caroline Bergvall, Charles Bernstein, bill bissett, Stephanie Bolster, Tom Bradley, Kimberly Burwick, Jason Camlot, Sherry Chandler, Maxine Chernoff, Todd Colby, MTC Cronin, Kieran D’Angelo, Robert Davidson, Jennifer K Dick, Andrew Dilger, BR Dionysius, Isobel Dixon, Antony Dunn, Zdravka Evtimova, Peter Finch, David Finkle, Martin Fisher, Brentley Frazer, Philip Fried, Ethan Gilsdorf, John Goodby, Giles Goodland, Daphne Gottlieb, Carrie Haber, Jen Hadfield, Christine Hamm, Paul Hardacre, Kenneth J Harvey, Steven Heighton, Kevin Higgins, Paul Hoover, Ranjit Hoskote, Halvard Johnson, Fred Johnston, Jill Jones, Norman Jope, Jayne Fenton Keane, WB Keckler, Amy King, Chris Kinsey, Roddy Lumsden, Alexis Lykiard, Don McGrath, Nigel McLoughlin, Jo Mazelis, Valeria Melchioretto, Matthew Miller, Vivek Narayanan, Nessa O’Mahony, Michelle Noteboom, Richard Peabody, Tom Phillips, David Prater, Sina Queyras, Srikanth Reddy, Ali Riley, Peter Riley, Peter Robinson, Noel Rooney, Thaddeus Rutkowski, Rebecca Seiferle, John W Sexton, Ron Silliman, Hal Sirowitz, Hank Starrs, Sean Street, Seamus Sweeney, Joel Barraquiel Tan, Heather Taylor, Roisin Tierney, Rodrigo Toscano, Ilija Trojanow, Alison Trower, Paul Vermeersch, John Welch, John Hartley Williams, Philip Wilson, Max Winter, Harriet Zinnes.

IQ AND THE POETS - ARE YOU SMART?

When you open your mouth to speak, are you smart?  A funny question from a great song, but also, a good one, when it comes to poets, and poetry. We tend to have a very ambiguous view of intelligence in poetry, one that I'd say is dysfunctional.  Basically, it goes like this: once you are safely dead, it no longer matters how smart you were.  For instance, Auden was smarter than Yeats , but most would still say Yeats is the finer poet; Eliot is clearly highly intelligent, but how much of Larkin 's work required a high IQ?  Meanwhile, poets while alive tend to be celebrated if they are deemed intelligent: Anne Carson, Geoffrey Hill , and Jorie Graham , are all, clearly, very intelligent people, aside from their work as poets.  But who reads Marianne Moore now, or Robert Lowell , smart poets? Or, Pound ?  How smart could Pound be with his madcap views? Less intelligent poets are often more popular.  John Betjeman was not a very smart poet, per se.  What do I mean by smart?

"I have crossed oceans of time to find you..."

In terms of great films about, and of, love, we have Vertigo, In The Mood for Love , and Casablanca , Doctor Zhivago , An Officer and a Gentleman , at the apex; as well as odder, more troubling versions, such as Sophie's Choice and  Silence of the Lambs .  I think my favourite remains Bram Stoker's Dracula , with the great immortal line "I have crossed oceans of time to find you...".

THE SWIFT REPORT 2023

I am writing this post without much enthusiasm, but with a sense of duty. This blog will be 20 years old soon, and though I rarely post here anymore, I owe it some attention. Of course in 2023, "Swift" now means one thing only, Taylor Swift, the billionaire musician. Gone are the days when I was asked if I was related to Jonathan Swift. The pre-eminent cultural Swift is now alive and TIME PERSON OF THE YEAR. There is no point in belabouring the obvious with delay: 2023 was a low-point in the low annals of human history - war, invasion, murder, in too many nations. Hate, division, the collapse of what truth is, exacerbated by advances in AI that may or may not prove apocalyptic, while global warming still seems to threaten the near-future safety of humanity. It's been deeply depressing. The world lost some wonderful poets, actors, musicians, and writers this year, as it often does. Two people I knew and admired greatly, Ian Ferrier and Kevin Higgins, poets and organise
