Informationist poetry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Informationist poetry is a literary movement of the 1990s in the United Kingdom, in particular in Scotland. The poets usually associated with this movement are: Richard Price — who coined the term in 1991 in the magazine Interference — Robert Crawford, W. N. Herbert, David Kinloch, Peter McCarey and Alan Riach. The anthology Contraflow on the SuperHighway (Southfields, 1994), edited by Price and Herbert, set the parameters for the movement, although several years later Robert Crawford, in an article in the Times Literary Supplement attempted to widen the term to include the work of Kathleen Jamie and Don Paterson. One of the features of the work grouped under this movement is its engagement with the technological innovation, jargon and interconnectedness of the "information society".
