Trevor Joyce

What’s In Store


Published by New Writers' Press & The Gig 2007

Edition 1st

Condition Mint

These poems find Joyce reaching out towards a jarringly wide range of styles and voices, from the tart lyricism of his workings of European folksongs to the ferociously dense collage/inscription of ‘Stillsman’. Brought together as a book, the poems take on further meanings: ‘What’s In Store’ is at once a Borgesian guide to the history, customs and discourse of an unknown country, and an Oulipian textual machine, whose workings by turns terrify and exalt.
