The World Speaking Back... To Denise Riley is a transnational and transgenerational poetry anthology to celebrate the work, contribution, and influence of one of our major poets and foremost philosophers, Denise Riley. It includes work from ninety-four authors; each has gifted an individual contribution inspired by Riley s work in some form, be it in the fields of art history, political philosophy, poetics or creative writing; all are offered in tribute to the different spaces and ways in which Riley's work opens new possibilities for its readers.
The book has been prepared as a surprise collective gift by the editors, Ágnes Lehóczky and Zoë Skoulding, and publisher, Boiler House Press, to co-incide with her 70th birthday. It is available here for friends and fans who would also like to 'give something back': proceeds will be donated to a charity of Riley's choosing.
