Race Reviewing UK Ledbury Poetry

项目摘要

Although publishing by UK poets of colour has risen sharply during the previous decade, poetry reviewing has largely lagged behind. This year-long project will build on Parmar's research on race and UK poetry, as well as on LPC's impact on diversity in reviewing, by extending both its qualitative and quantitative measures and aims to a much wider group of poetry critics, commissioning editors, arts and policy organisations and early career academics and emerging poetry critics Dr Alycia Pirmohamed and Dr Dave Coates (in post 9 months of the project). A programme of workshops, public events with panel discussions, Editor-in-Residencies and one-on-one mentoring will feed into a Critics Residency at Ledbury Poetry Festival in July 2021. Up to 30 critics selected by application in January 2021 will take part in this programme, alongside partners and editors from high-profile organisations such as the London Review of Books, The Poetry Review (Poetry Society), Times Literary Supplement, Scottish BAME writers network, Forward Arts Foundation, Spread the Word, Literature Wales and smaller publishing platforms such as Ambit, Poetry London, Poetry Wales, Wasafiri among others. In 2005 less than 1% of UK poets published by major presses were Black or Asian; by 2017 this increased to 16% (Freed Verse report, Spread the Word), as part of a wider cultural shift towards inclusion in literature led by schemes like The Complete Works (2007-2017), a mentorship programme for Black and Asian poets. In 2017, Parmar co-founded the Ledbury Poetry Critics mentorship scheme for BAME poetry reviewers with T.S. Eliot Prize winning poet and critic Sarah Howe. Ledbury's founding report found that only 3% of poetry reviewers in UK newspapers and magazines were non-white. Since its inception, LPC has mentored twelve poetry critics in the UK, four in the US and is currently developing an Irish critics programme with local partners. Ledbury's 2020 report on diversity in poetry culture, 'The State of Poetry and Poetry Criticism', shows that the LPC programme tripled poetry reviews by critics of colour--now nearly 10% of poetry reviews published in the UK are by non-white critics. But more work needs to be done to make poetry criticism and reviewing inclusive and diverse. The Critics Residency will take place over five days and will include: critic-led seminars on the language of reviewing and race; workshops focused on developing practical review writing skills; further opportunities for individual feedback on reviews; guidance on how to pitch to editors; opportunities to build a profile through networking with commissioning editors; reviewing tasks and individual writing time. Paid editor residencies throughout the year will partner critics with editors to develop editorial skills by jointly-producing one issue of a magazine or journal. A route to career progression from critic to commissioning editor is a crucial part of EDI work in poetry criticism. Editors must also be drawn from diverse cultural backgrounds. And thus far six Ledbury Critics have become editors at The Times, Oxford Poetry, the Poetry School, Culturised and Ambit. In terms of the quantitative aspects of the project, measuring inclusion through data is essential for gauging progress and areas for improvement in UK poetry reviewing. This project will use its existing research methods to develop an industry-wide standard method of self-reporting. An accessible and protected database will be made available to readers, critics and researchers of UK poetry culture by September 2021. These expanded quantitative measures will be shared and refined in consultation with editors, arts policy organisations, statisticians and critics, as will a method of annual reporting and peer auditing, to ensure accuracy and reliability of data. This database, which already stores anonymous data from 2009-2019, will be maintained in perpetuity by Liverpool's Centre for New and International Writing.

尽管英国有色人种诗人的出版在过去十年中急剧上升，但诗歌评论在很大程度上落后于人。这个为期一年的项目将建立在Parmar的种族和英国诗歌的研究，以及LPC对审查多样性的影响，通过扩展其定性和定量措施，旨在更广泛的诗歌评论家群体，委托编辑，艺术和政策组织以及早期职业学者和新兴诗歌评论家Alycia Pirmohamed博士和Dave科茨博士（在项目后9个月）。一个讲习班，公共活动与小组讨论，编辑在驻地和一对一的指导计划将在2021年7月的莱德伯里诗歌节上提供评论家驻地。2021年1月通过申请选出的多达30名评论家将与来自伦敦书评、诗歌评论等知名组织的合作伙伴和编辑一起参加该计划。（诗歌学会）、《泰晤士报文学副刊》、苏格兰BAME作家网络、前进艺术基金会、传播世界、文学威尔士和较小的出版平台，如界限、诗歌伦敦、诗歌威尔士，瓦萨菲里人2005年，英国主要出版社出版的诗人中只有不到1%是黑人或亚洲人;到2017年，这一比例增加到16%（Freed Verse报告，传播世界），这是更广泛的文化转变的一部分，这种文化转变是由《全集》（2007-2017）等计划领导的，这是一个针对黑人和亚洲诗人的导师计划。在2017年，帕玛共同创立了莱德伯里诗歌评论家导师计划的BAME诗歌评论家与TS。艾略特奖获得者诗人和评论家莎拉豪。莱德伯里的创始报告发现，英国报纸和杂志上只有3%的诗歌评论家是非白人。自成立以来，LPC已在英国指导了12位诗歌评论家，在美国指导了4位，目前正在与当地合作伙伴一起开发爱尔兰评论家计划。莱德伯里2020年关于诗歌文化多样性的报告《诗歌和诗歌批评的现状》显示，LPC项目使有色人种评论家的诗歌评论增加了两倍--现在英国出版的近10%的诗歌评论都是由非白人评论家撰写的。但要使诗歌批评和评论具有包容性和多样性，还需要做更多的工作。评论家驻留将持续五天，将包括：评论家主导的关于评论语言和种族的研讨会;专注于开发实用评论写作技能的研讨会;对评论的个人反馈的进一步机会;如何向编辑推销的指导;通过与委托编辑建立关系网建立个人资料的机会;审查任务和个人写作时间。全年的付费编辑驻地将与编辑合作，通过共同制作一期杂志或期刊来培养编辑技能。从批评家到委托编辑的职业发展路线是EDI诗歌批评工作的重要组成部分。编辑还必须来自不同的文化背景。到目前为止，六位莱德伯里批评家已经成为《泰晤士报》、《牛津诗歌》、《诗歌学校》、《文化》和《境界》的编辑。在项目的定量方面，通过数据衡量包容性对于衡量英国诗歌评论的进展和改进领域至关重要。该项目将利用其现有的研究方法，制定一个全行业的自我报告标准方法。一个可访问和受保护的数据库将在2021年9月之前提供给英国诗歌文化的读者，评论家和研究人员。这些扩大的量化措施将与编辑，艺术政策组织，统计学家和评论家进行协商，并与年度报告和同行审计的方法进行共享和改进，以确保数据的准确性和可靠性。这个数据库已经存储了2009-2019年的匿名数据，将由利物浦的新和国际写作中心永久维护。
