Holland Park Press The The Houses Along the Wall: A Pembrokeshire
Book SynopsisKaren Hayes created this cycle of poems as a fictional social landscape inspired by a row of houses along the coastal wall at the Parrog, near the small town of Newport in Pembrokeshire. Each house appears in the poem with its actual name, whether in Welsh or English, but its history and inhabitants have been fictionalised and the details in the poems, although sometimes corresponding to a particular photograph or phrase, are entirely imaginary. The poems also serve to preserve the original houses along the wall in our memory as the author realised that increasingly tourism saved the area from falling into complete disrepair but also drove away the local population. The poems chart the simultaneous decay and preservation of a way of life through a mixture of snippets of conversation overheard in shops, fragments of local myths and legends which occur in photos and journals in the houses, conversations in local pubs about incomers and economic exiles, the poignant story of the disappearance and presumed murder of Suzy Lamplugh and, above all the way that her own children all grew up together across almost twenty summers.Table of ContentsPreface Tesserae In His Cups The Last House on the River Watermark The Wedding Breakfast Wax Exposure The Kayaks The Ferry Man The Belgians Fire on the Mountain The Misses Four Floors for Suzy The Smell of Time The Runt of the Litter Congregation Acknowledgments

Holland Park Press The The Past Is a Dangerous Driver: Poems
Book SynopsisThe poems in The Past Is a Dangerous Driver is inspired by Neal Mason's fascination with the past, not only in the way it exists as general history but also as it is formed by one's own personal recollection. Through his poems, Neil links the past to the present, in a way that puts events in a new light and exposes discovery of hidden complexities. History is no longer seen as being made up of facts and artefacts but instead it is presented as the manifestation of the human spirit. The poems also conjure up an eclectic view of Britain, its values, history and even future. The title of collection is a hint that the past does affect the present, not always for the best, but its influence needs to be acknowledged.Table of ContentsAfter Dunwich Derelict Classroom The Long Campaign 7th December Holiday Romance Martello Tower Wooden Ruler Mendel, Shopping Affinity Reflected on Water S.S.

Holland Park Press Over the Edge: Poems
Book SynopsisIt’s a very personal collection inspired by Hirshhorn’s move back to the USA after having divided his time between London and Beirut for quite a few years. Moving to a new place puts things into a new perspective and makes one aware of passing time and can lead to a form of alienation. Themes like these play a role in the first set of poems. In 1944, the Hirschhorn family emigrated from England to the USA, to an apartment in New York. The very personal poems in the 853 Riverside Drive section reflect on this event from the father’s, mother’s and son’s point of view with a lament about the sister who never made it to New York. Aspects of being in exile are being explored in the third section drawing on Hirschhorn’s roots in the Middle East and Finland. This section also features a few poems by his friend Fouad M Fouad, an exile from Aleppo, co-translated from the Arabic. The last section puts everything in a wider perspective based on what’s gone before, different spiritual experiences and memory.Table of ContentsA House in the Woods Death in the Air A Burnt Offering Against Solitude Report From Inside a Snow Globe Earth’s Hum This Must be Heaven Afflictions Sailing With the Pleiades My Many Moons Anatomy Lesson: The Philtrum Virginia Creeper Soliloquy A Disquisition on Time Spellbound The Call For Men Who Lie Awake at Night A Train Engineer’s Last Interview A House in the Woods Dark-Time Winter Blues Finlandia Wood The Blesséd Mother 853 Riverside Drive (New York City) Migrants to 853 Riverside Drive Look, We Made It to America: My Mother at 853 Riverside Drive She Who Never Made It to 853 Riverside Drive My Mother Tries on a New Floral Housecoat at 853 Riverside Drive Me, at 853 Riverside Drive Calling Home to 853 Riverside Drive Over the Edge at 853 Riverside Drive My Father Escapes 853 Riverside Drive Our Last Meeting at 853 Riverside Drive My Father Returns to Die at 853 Riverside Drive Lost in the Maze at 853 Riverside Drive Brothers in Exile For I am a Brick From Our Balcony, Dhour Choueir, Lebanon The Young Guide at a Beirut Museum Rita, in Egypt Vilhelm Hammershøi: Interiors Untitled Deir el Qamar Memento Mori One Thousand and One Nights On Misreading the First Verse of an Ancient Hebrew Hymn Brothers in Exile Déjà Vu Excerpts from Diary of a Loss In the Beginning You & I I Dream of Him in Lightness and Dust The Tahara Lessons from a Perfect Life To Aila Maayan Noah on the Mississippi In the Beginning Letter to My Parents Long Gone from 853 Riverside Drive

They'll rock your world.'

Enitharmon Press Environmental Studies
Book SynopsisMaureen Duffy's new collection centres on environments - human, insect and animal - some experienced personally, some observed, some imagined. Though strictly contemporary in her concerns, she reaches back in her poetry to a vividly remembered childhood, and beyond that in her imagination to cultural figures of the past - John Donne, Edward Elgar, Toulouse Lautrec, Ralph Vaughan Williams - bringing them lucidly and memorably to life. With their hallmark of compassion and fair play, Duffy's poems reflect her lifelong support for progressive social and political movements; they also display a beautiful lyricism and technical skill that grows out of her love of the classical world and Old and Mediaeval English. As so often in her work, the city past and present provides the backdrop to her real and imagined life-stories: of love and loss, forebears and friends, the humorous and sometimes painful experiences of old age.Trade ReviewTLS: "A striking new volume of poems - Maureen Duffy has inspired many other writers and proved that the English novel need not be realistic and domestic, but can be fantastical, experimental and political. Perhaps it is her poetry, though, that most fully captures her range as she presses on like a medieval troubadour across barriers of genre, gender, space and time."

Enitharmon Press Sooner or Later Frank
Book SynopsisSooner or Later Frank finds Jeremy Reed optimising his London quarter of Soho and the West End, its outlaws, opportune strangers and rogue mavericks condensed into poems coloured by an imagery that pushes pioneering edges towards final frontiers. Right on the big city moment, and with an eye for arresting acute visual detail, Reed makes the capital into personal affairs. His characteristic love of glamour, rock music, seasonal step-changes, and a Ballardian preoccupation with the visionary render this new PBS Recommendation, in John Ashbery's words on Reed's recent work, 'a dazzling tour de force.'Trade Review'For JG Ballard, Jeremy Reed was the only contemporary writer worth reading, and now more than ever, his writing (like Ballard's) interrogates the present moment, its sensations, obsessions and experiences, in uniquely subversive and astonishing ways that instantly annul mainstream writing and show that only the extremes and peripheries of imagination and action are the sites of visual creative work. Sooner or Later Frank is a fabulous, profound exploration.' STEPHEN BARBER
