Companions of His Thoughts More Green

<p><em>Companions of His Thoughts More Green</em> is a celebration of the work of Andrew Marvell (1621-1678). One of the finest of the Metaphysical poets Marvell did not come into his own until his rediscovery in the twentieth century and now he is rediscovered anew in an anthology of contemporary poets writing in the shadow of the climate emergency and energised by the modern ecopoem. The poets of <em>Companions of His Thoughts More Green </em>respond to Marvell's garden and pastoral poems his political satires his love poems and his all-encompassing philosophical wit. The book also comes with an introduction and afterword placing Marvell in a contemporary context and affirming the continuing poetic possibilities of 'a green thought in a green shade.'</p><p><br></p><p>Contributors: Ian Duhig Jason Allen-Paisant Tom Cook Martin Malone Ingrid Leonard Chris Arksey Mary McCollum Aaron Kent Nuzhat Bukhari Malcolm Watson Suna Afshan Rory Waterman Camille Ralphs Matthew Francis Cliff Forshaw Ishion Hutchinson Carol Rumens Will Harris Emily Berry Sean O'Brien Nyla Matuk Alec Finlay Angela Leighton Justin Quinn Jana Prikryl Stephanie Burt Jon Thompson Paul Muldoon Stewart Mottram David Wheatley.</p>
