Good to see something at length on the too often dismissed Eric Mottram in a long poem, despite that you find it 'almost wholly obscure';- yet certainly of an innovative disposition. Curious to hear more of your wider ranging 'long poems' project.
related to themes of Angel Exhaust magazine. essays in literary history around the edges of a series of books called 'Affluence, Welfare, and Fine Words', theme: British poetry 1960-97 (with excursions into the 1940s). the parts were published 2003-17. main substance is in the books. but every book leaves something out, and the poetry scene is surrounded by a realm of neglect. in fact, someone has to crawl through the long grass to find what has been kicked into the long grass.
