DESCRIPTION:John Tessimond and Dawson Jackson are poets whose work compli
 cates the popular understanding of the 1930s and 1940s as a nadir for Br
 itish poetry. Research of key source material in the Dawson Jackson Pape
 rs at the John Rylands will inform this talk's discussion of the margina
 lisation of these poets from their contemporary literary scene and their
  omission from the critical narrative of the poetry of the period. Despi
 te this lack of critical attention\, Jackson and Tessimond's compelling 
 explorations of radical and ecological concerns ensure that their poetry
  speaks to modern audiences. This talk will consider the ways in which t
 heir roles as literary outliers enable Jackson and Tessimond to offer un
 ique perspectives on the social function of poetry during a period of cr
 isis in Britain.
