Alan Baker (poet)

[3] In the late 1990s he encountered the email discussion group British-poets, which introduced him to the poets associated with the British Poetry Revival.

[4] He founded Leafe Press in 2000, and is now co-editor (with American poet John Bloomberg-Rissman) and is editor of its associated webzine Litter.

[5] Leafe Press has published work by Kelvin Corcoran, Carrie Etter, Geraldine Monk, and Lee Harwood, among others, and more recently, work by American, French and Mexican poets, and by the Moroccan Abdellatif Laâbi.

[8] He has an interest in prose-poetry, and his prose sequence The Book of Random Access mixes the apparently personal with borrowed texts, and with references to Eastern philosophies in what has been described as a "post-modern pilgrimage".

[10] In some of his poetry 'repetition, or near-repetition, are frequently employed in a way that re-enacts the routines of everyday life... half-glimpsed or half-grasped.'.
