The first part of C.D. Wright's "Rising, Falling, Hovering" (from CR 51:3), the second part of which appears in the new issue.
The first installment of Kent Johnson's critical novella, Corroded by Symbolysme, an "anti-review" of Andrew Duncan's Savage Survivals. The new issue includes the second installment, on J.H. Prynne's To Pollen.
A critical conversation between John Wilkinson and Peter Riley, which began with Wilkinson's review of Simon Jarvis's The Unconditional (from CR 52:2/3/4), continued with Riley's response to Wilkinson in the British Poetry Issue, and continued further with Wilkinson's response to Riley in the new issue. We are now happy to present a reading list of Cambridge poetry by Riley (a web exclusive).
