She argues that poetry often became polished and defensive, avoiding abstraction and political engagement, while institutional forces—such as key editors and the “New Generation” promotion—both shaped and homogenized the field. Situating these developments within post-war austerity and Britain’s cultural openness to the United States, Sampson also reflects on issues of diversity, noting the marginalization of experimental, African, and Caribbean voices. She concludes that poetic “deregulation” mirrored Thatcherite economics, producing both opportunities and constraints. jeu., 18 sept. 2025 21:56:14 +0200 sam., 18 oct. 2025 17:52:59 +0200 http://revueties.org/entree/index.php?/ties/contemporary-british-poetry-and-the-long-1980s/1381-interview-with-fiona-sampson
