Notes Toward an Apocryphal Text: [poems by Alan May, Images by Tom Wegrzynowski]
[This book] presents a new poet whose vivid imagination expresses itself in brilliant juxtapositions of imagery and language. His work has an immediate power and, beneath its often-absurdiste surface, is rich and haunting. --Bill Knott-- Alan May's poems are taut, intense, weird, and occasionally perverse. They are also unbearably kind, consistently funny...This is a poet with an uncompromising individuality. --Inman Majors-- ...Carefully measured, stark and moving...A strong and original poetry. --Simon Perchik-- Wegrzynowski's world creates a fascinating space for theoretical and artistic considerations. -Brett Levine, Director of the University of Alabama at Birmingham Visual Arts Gallery-- Tom Wegrzynowski creates his own ironic mythos...What are pyramids doing in No Man's Land? Only Wegrzynowski's symbology can explain, and the explanations may still not satisfy a literalist intellect. -Jerry Cullum, Senior Editor of Art Papers Magazine

WINNER OF THE McILVANNEY PRIZE SHORTLISTED FOR THE IAN FLEMING STEEL DAGGER 2023 Glasgow is a city in mourning. An arson attack has left five dead. Tempers are frayed and sentiments running high. When three youths are charged the city goes wild. A crowd gathers outside the courthouse but as the police drive the young men to prison, their van is rammed by a truck, and the men are grabbed and bundled into a car. The next day, the body of one of them is dumped in the city centre. A note has been sent to the newspapers: one down, two to go. Detective Harry McCoy has twenty-four hours to find the kidnapped boys before they all turn up dead, and it is going to mean taking down some of Glasgow’s most powerful to do it . . .

Dead Letters
Poetry. "The voice in these poems is powerfully deep and inside, as if it's coming up from the bottom of a well. Yet it is also a recognizable voice, one we have in our own heads at certain moments. Alan May has created an echo chamber of lyric consciousness, not in service of solipsism, but for the purpose of communion. These poems disturb and sadden and charm, but above all they keep us with them. The illustrations, by Tom Wegrzynowski and May, are as otherworldly as the poems, yet the art of this moving and elegant book convinces the reader the other world is where we do our living. DEAD LETTERS is a work of great beauty and force, of intelligence and stark humility"--Maurice Manning.
