Lisa Gorton looks at the friendship between poets Chris Wallace-Crabbe, R. A. Simpson, Vincent Buckley, Laurence Collinson, Alexander Craig, Max Dunn, Noel Macainsh and David Martin, who together published the anthology of poetry Eight by Eight (1963). She suggests ' the idea that a group of poets, insofar as they constituted one another's audience, could influence that most defining and hard-to-define aspect of any poem - its tone of voice.' (16)
