Westward Haut
£9.50/£12.50/£15.00

_{“Westward Haut is a poem of the Plains, using 1-80 as the kind of spine of the east and west. I’m treating it like the longest strip town in the world. It’s just like the motorized western expansion, but now it's not covered wagons and horses. It’s people burning oil.”

—Ed Dorn (2012)}

^{Selected Poems}

Maggie O’Sullivan
red shifts / Waterfalls
£9.00/£11.00/£15.00

Tom Pickard
Fuckwind
£9.00/£11.00/£15.00
^{Introduction by Paul McCartney}
_{Since High on the Walls (1967) Pickard’s always been a lone wolf; a dynamic & volatile writer. Spacious, sparse and of so few syllables, his poems & songs are visceral, slipping roughshed with sparks off their heels. Evoking border ballads, the territory of the outlaw, the reiver—in talking-blues, rants, lyrics & love poems—Fuckwind is a collection of works that live with suss & study diversity in adverse conditions.}

Seán Rafferty
Review Sketches & Fragments
£14.95/£17.95/£24.95_{Collected Poems in II Volumes—the poems of Seán Rafferty, indifferent to fashion & almost if not completely unrecognised during his lifetime, have the distinction of being increasingly appreciated as among the most enduring written during the middle years of the twentieth century. Rafferty’s poetry had long been admired by writers as diverse as Sorley MacLean, Harold Pinter, Hamish Henderson, Hugh MacDiarmid and Ted Hughes.}

Carl Rakosi
The Earth Suite
£9.00/£12.00/£15.00
_{Rakosi’s voice is puckish, deep, earthed & crystal clear. His art is to create a myriad of elegantly paced voices soldered to a deep wit. His music & diction never falter.

“If there is any word that describes Rakosi's work of the past dozen years, it is joy. It is as if each poem he now writes were a gift, something above & beyond the life he has already lived.”

—Paul Auster}

Carl Rakosi
The Old Poet’s Tale
£9.00/£12.00/£15.00_{Gathering work spanning 1924-98, an ambitious project featuring a key figure in the group of Jewish & Communist poets known as ‘The Objectivists.’ This book reconfigures previously published works, including 56 new poems & a new essay.}

Carlyle Reedy
Epos
£20.00
_{Selected Poems}

Iain Sinclair
The Firewall
£16.95/£21.95/£24.95
_{Selected Poems}

_{“Not even the Thousand Handed Giant could easily turn over all the poems and open half of the portals of intelligence in this book... This is the landscape of another realm. We are walking over a raw and smoking surface filled with surprises. All around are the possibilities of lost tribes bustling in the shadows. The Firewall edges towards being a world rather than paper and pages. This is a rare jewel.”

—Michael McClure}

Iain Sinclair
Saddling the Rabbit
£9.00/£11.00/£12.50

_{“I recover my sense of London from these coded fragments in a way that considered prose pieces, fiction or essay, won’t allow... I don't want to give nostalgia a good press, but unframed, uncrimped effusions call up corners of lost worlds that are still usefully remembered... If it's not lived experience, it's not in the movie. Cinema and its bastard offspring, television, is the addiction, always... They were the double lives I wanted most, film and poetry. These tight-lipped scripts are about not getting them. And about the world, its tender body, as a consolation.”

—Iain Sinclair}
