The financial crisis: what does it mean for the creative industries, the arts, the cultural sector in the UK? Our friends John Kieffer and Shelagh Wright, along with John Newbigin and John Holden have put together a rather fabulous little collection of essays looking at this very question. Running to a 100 pages, After the Crunch features essays by a whole bunch of luminaries - artists, entrepreneurs, thought leaders and the like - including Clay Shirky, Tony Hall, Charles Leadbeater, Richard Florida and Chris Smith.

We're also in there, having contributed a sawn-off version of our essay-in-development The Trouble With Poetry, which we first rolled out as a presentation for IT4Arts back in March.

There's a limited edition of the book available, handsomely designed by Elmwood. If you can't track down a copy, you can download a PDF of it here.
