Steven Johnson's Emergence: The Connected Lives of Ants Brains Cities & Software" is a fascinating look at how self-organising systems are changing the world. Why do people cluster together in neighborhoods? How do internet communities spring up from nowhere? Why is a brain conscious even though no single neuron is? What causes a media frenzy? The answer as Steven Johnson's groundbreaking book shows is emergence: change that occurs from the bottom up. When enough individual elements interact & organize themselves the result is collective intelligence
- even though no-one is in charge. It is a phenomenon that exists at every level of experience & will revolutionize the way we see the world. " Exhilarating". (J.G. Ballard).

Emergency Kit is an anthology with many differences. It is to begin with a book which gives prominence to poems rather than to the poets who wrote them. It is truly international bringing together poems not just from these islands but from many parts of the English-speaking world. It is the first book to identify a strain in the poetry of the last half-century which is characteristic of the 'strange times' we live in
- an age when as the editors note scientific discovery itself has encouraged us to 'make free with the boundaries of realism'. It values imagination surprise vivid expression the outlandish & the playful above ideology & sententiousness. It is in short living proof that poetry in the English language continues to thrive & to matter.
