Conductors of Chaos: A Poetry Anthology

1996 poetry anthology

Conductors of Chaos: A Poetry Anthology is a poetry anthology edited by Iain Sinclair, and published in the United Kingdom in 1996 by Picador.[1]

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.
