Conductors of Chaos: A Poetry Anthology (1996). It's his secret history of British poetry of the twentieth century. I haven't heard of most of the poets, although I approved months ago of his inclusion of David Jones. The book was an extremely expensive, bashed-up, just-shy-of-five-hundred-page paperback which I kept checking the price of longingly every time I was in the store and then regretfully replacing again. This time I asked if it would ever go for less than the sticker and to my great shock the clerk asked me to name a price. I named slightly less than half, figuring it would get bargained up again. He sold it to me.
