Hey, I think it would be a good idea for you to update this article. The discussion of modern English alliterative verse is now misleading, as it suggests it’s a totally rare thing that only shows up in three or four author’s work, and that in specific works. That’s no longer the case. Check out all the authors documented in my recently updated website, Forgotten Ground Regained, which you already cite. Also take a look at the forthcoming book by Dennis Wise, due out Dec. 15th: Speculative Poetry and the Modern Alliterative Revival: A Critical Anthology. It will literally contain more original alliterative verse by more authors than anything that has been published since before Gutenberg invented the printing press.

Thank you for your comment.
You are quite correct that the article needs updating to include the modern revival of alliterative verse. Your website is a valuable resource for that material!
Thank you again for taking the time to help make NWE a valuable information resource.
