with
Gavin Selerie
Published by West House Books 1999
Edition 1st
Condition Mint
Poetry, prose & b/w graphics exploring 1949, the year of the authors’ births. ‘Days of ’49 is a beautiful and moving volume ... so brilliant that it points to a whole possible new road’ (Andrew Duncan). ‘A conception of poetry not as confession or self-expression but as record and recognition that the individual is somehow an expression of history as well as being expressed by it. Days of ’49 invites you to participate in a kind of performative meditation about history, poetry and texts and about the private life and global systems’ (David Kennedy). Typeset at Five Seasons Press.

The Text of Shelley’s Death
Published by West House Books 2001
Edition Reprint
Condition Mint
There is hardly a detail in any of the tellings and retellings of the story of Shelley’s drowning which does not contradict, directly or silently, a detail in another. The Text of Shelley’s Death collates these variant tellings using the techniques of the scholarly variorum. It is a kaleidoscope of voices, a collage prose-poem, a biographical and critical study, a mystery. ‘This remarkable little book ... a fascinating exercise in mutability ... sometimes baffling, but never less than poetic’ (Robert Nye). ‘It’s that rarest of things, a contribution to scholarship which is at the same time a genuine work of art, with two lives: a Romantic, fragmentary, Shelleyan confusion, and a deconstructed, wry, Halseyan sympathy’ (Paul Merchant). Second edition typeset by the original publisher, Five Seasons Press.

Published by Five Seasons Press 1987
Edition 1st
Condition Mint
Poems from the early 1980s. ‘Halsey’s writings unite formal experiment, linguistic precision, and concern for a vital relation between people and place.
