Conductors of Chaos: A Poetry Anthology

Conductors of Chaos: A Poetry Anthology

Conductors of Chaos: A Poetry Anthology is a poetry anthology edited by Iain Sinclair, and published in the United Kingdom in 1996 (see 1996 in poetry) by Picador. In a backhanded piece of self-justification, 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."

In fact 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.
