Frontwards in a Backwards Movie

Ken Smith

Frontwards in a Backwards Movie

Ken Smith wanted to write a novel, so the story goes, but he couldn't make up his mind which novel, so he decided instead to write a chapter from each novel. But the chapters turned out to be paragraphs, and the paragraphs to be more like poems, and so this beautiful collection of twenty-one poetic fragments in prose came into existence.

The Grasshopper's Burden

David Craig

A Certain Koslowski

Michael Augustin

The author confesses to having been influenced by Zbigniew Herbert and Flann O'Brien at the same time. Whatever their origin, they constitute a delightfully amusing collection, and the whole is enhanced by a series of apposite illustrations by Hartmut Eing.

Spectrum-Shift

Isobel Thrilling

Spectrum-Shift

Isobel Thrilling's work is characterised by free verse, an extreme economy of language and piercing moments of insight. There are poems here which deal uncompromisingly with illness, loss and family relationships. Others set the human in a wider evolutionary context. Some are the expression of the sheer joy of living. Whatever the subject, the dedication and craftsmanship of a highly individual artist are always very much to the fore.

Rattling the Handle

Patricia Pogson

Rattling the Handle

"Maybe for once a blurb is right: it talks about Pogson's poems confronting "the world in all its baffling inconsequentiality, absurdity and cruelty" and I can't really do better than that except to say that the poems are always full of humanity, and nowhere is Pogson sniggering at any of the predicaments we find ourselves in."
