Escafeld Hangings
Published by West House Books 2005
Edition 1st
Condition Mint
’Escafeld’ is the Anglo-Saxon name for Sheffield. In ‘Escafeld Hangings’ Geraldine Monk trawls through this ‘City of Eternal Construction’ concentrating mainly on the enigmatic figure of Mary Queen of Scots who was imprisoned there from 1570 until 1584. Without assuming personae ‘Escafeld Hangings’ offers a psychological mapping of political imprisonment with its implications for our own time. It also presents a Queen of Scots who escapes into the future and talks as freely of Ikea and the Robin Hood Airport as of stomachers and jesters. In the final sequence Monk views our contemporary political landscape from the seclusion of her garden shed.
’Escafeld Hangings’ includes an audio CD of a performance of ‘Mary Through the Looking Glass’ by Geraldine Monk and Ligia Roque.

Walks in a Daisy Chain
Published by Magenta 1991
Edition 1st
Condition Mint
’Here are 41 characters, lyrical grumbles, smug self-assessments, flights of soliloquial frenzy, all linked, and all individually word-carved, the quarks and neutrons of the housewife, the fine and living art of the butcher, showing us our exciting in-built gift for getting what really matters essentially wrong, not smart satires but basic fun-kits, the swank of the policeman’s helmet, the sub-editor’s stunning punning, sliding incorrigibly from one profession to another, till the final sonic link joins up.’ Bill Griffiths

Noctivagations
Published by West House Books 2002
Edition 1st
Condition Mint
Noctivagations collects poems and performance pieces written between the mid-nineties & 2001. Many are published here for the first time and range from the performance work Hidden Cities commissioned by the Ruskin School of Fine Art to her collaborations with the composer Martin Archer. ‘I am continuously awed by Monk’s opening out of experiential spaces both in terms of drama and close feeling, the way she catches the small words we offer in the face of immensities.’ (David Annwn) ‘Wild, erotic and deeply strange writing. A poetry that reveals the unspeakable wierdness of the everyday.’ (Sean Bonney) Typeset at Five Seasons Press.

fluvium
with
Martin Archer, Julie Tippets
Published by Discus Music
Condition Mint
Audio CD. Geraldine Monk writes the words and declaims/sings/projects them in a slightly rough voice full of drama and Dada seriousness. Providing a more operatic/scat component is Julie Tippets’ soprano support. And weaving through these is Archer’s electronica, moving with the voices, supporting and enhancing the s(ung)poken component.
