Kelvin Corcoran

Your Thinking Tracts or Nations

with Alan Halsey

Published by West House Books 2001

Edition 1st

Condition Mint

Poems with black-and-white graphics by Alan Halsey. ‘These unhinged, doodle-like pictures enact some rarely seen cosmic catastrophe somewhere in deepest space where things are either beginning or ending ... the poems echo other poems, other writers, other tones, entering into these pulsating world-fields and giving them a sharp historical reminder.’ (Ralph Hawkins, The North) Typeset at Five Seasons Press.

Martin Corless-Smith

Complete Travels


Published by West House Books 2000

Edition 1st

Condition Mint

Poems whose dialect undergoes constant shift, a wealth of vernacular only loosely bound to time and place: grammar twists and bends as echoes are sounded of an older written language, lively ghosts of speech. ‘It’s as if Corless-Smith manages the almost impossible: to make contemporary techniques combine with the traditional in such a way that he turns on its head both the old and the new’ (Chelsea). Typeset at Five Seasons Press.
