Conductors of Chaos: A Poetry Anthology (original) (raw)

Conductors of Chaos: A Poetry Anthology is a poetry anthology edited by Iain Sinclair, and published in the United Kingdom in 1996 by Picador. Sinclair in the Introduction wrote that "The secret history of ... 'the British Poetry Revival' ... is as arcane a field of study as the heresies and schisms of the early Church." The selection includes both a number of 'Revival' poets, and a few figures chosen as 'precursors', with some deliberate scheme of comment on the contemporary as well as the retrospection involving the 1960s and 1970s.
