I have combined the review with some previously unpublished poems from Muriel Spark, and with Michael Sweeney’s ‘Inquisition Lane’. I’ve taken part of Michael Schmidt’s ‘Afterward’ to the Spark as a denominator common to all three collections, in which he says:<\/p>\n

are meticulously wrought, the diction, tempo and phrasing revealing<\/p>\n

at once the drama of the narrative and the character of the narrator.’<\/p>\n

Stand<\/strong> has been a fixture on the British and world literary scene since 1952, when the first issue appeared in London. It moved to Leeds in 1960, then to Newcastle, and it is now edited from the School of English at the University of Leeds in collaboration with Virginia Commonwealth University in the USA.<\/p>\n
