Alan Baker (born 1958) [1] is a British poet . He has been the editor of the poetry publisher Leafe Press since 2000, and the online magazine Litter since 2005. [2]

Life [ edit ]

Baker was born in Newcastle upon Tyne , England, in 1958, and in 1985 he moved to Nottingham , where he still lives. [3] In the late 1990s he encountered the email discussion group British-poets, which introduced him to the poets associated with the British Poetry Revival . [4] He founded Leafe Press in 2000, and is now co-editor (with American poet John Bloomberg-Rissman) and is editor of its associated webzine Litter . [5] Leafe Press has published work by Kelvin Corcoran, Carrie Etter , Geraldine Monk , and Lee Harwood , among others, and more recently, work by American, French and Mexican poets, and by the Moroccan Abdellatif Laabi . [6]

Poetry [ edit ]

Baker published a series of poetry pamphlets between 1999 and 2009; in 2008, Bamboo Books published his translation of Yves Bonnefoy 's Debut et Fin de la Neige , and in 2011 Skysill Press published Variations on Painting a Room: Poems 2000?2010 , which brought together all of Baker's small press work to date, along with a considerable amount of new work. [7] Baker's poetry is regarded as being non-mainstream, or experimental, and is also seen as both lyrical and political. [8] He has an interest in prose-poetry, and his prose sequence The Book of Random Access mixes the apparently personal with borrowed texts, and with references to Eastern philosophies in what has been described as a "post-modern pilgrimage". [9] Baker's poetry and prose poetry "draws on array of modernist and post-modernist techniques". [10] In some of his poetry 'repetition, or near-repetition, are frequently employed in a way that re-enacts the routines of everyday life... half-glimpsed or half-grasped.'. [11]
