DESCRIPTION:Anvil Press was founded in 1968 by Peter Jay\, who remained i
 ts director until his retirement from publishing in 2015. With a focus o
 n modern poetry in English and poetry in translation from all periods\, 
 Jay built up a prestigious list of international significance\, featurin
 g work by writers as diverse as celebrated translator Michael Hamburger\
 , Chinese dissident poet Bei Dao\, Irish poet Dennis O’Driscoll\, curren
 t Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy\, and many others. \n\nAlthough 2015 saw
  the end of Anvil Press as a distinct operation\, it also marked a new b
 eginning: Anvil’s list was taken on by Manchester-based Carcanet Press t
 o form what has been hailed as a ‘Northern world-poetry powerhouse’. In 
 2016\, the Library acquired the later part of the Anvil Archive – coveri
 ng the last thirty years – and this now lives alongside the archive of C
 arcanet Press. The presses have overlapping histories\, and this talk wi
 ll provide an introduction to the Anvil Archive\, which is in the proces
 s of being listed\, and explore some of the synergies between this and t
 he archive of Carcanet Press.\n
