Versus
Early in 2022, at the age of 81, Alan Loney came to the decision that a separate discipline titled 'poetry' was no longer able to contain the writerly concerns that nevertheless still pressed him. This book, unfinished and unfinishable, registers that decision, that breach in a life previously devoted to the poem and to a self-identification as a poet. Recent work around the figure of the ancient Greek philosopher Herakleitos has required him to refocus his attention to the poetic nature of all language, all thought, all modes of writing. In this sense, Versus is not only an endpoint, but also a starting point of a major shift in his writing life.
The Falling
Alan Loney takes a journey into the lives of two of the 151 people killed in the Tangiwai rail disaster.
Gentlemen Volunteers
They left Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Michigan, and Stanford to drive ambulances on the French front, and on the killing fields of World War I they learned that war was no place for gentlemen. The tale of the American volunteer ambulance drivers of the First World War is one of gallantry amid gore; manners amid madness. Arlen J. Hansen’s Gentlemen Volunteers brings to life the entire story of the men—and women—who formed the first ambulance corps, and who went on to redefine American culture. Some were to become legends—Ernest Hemingway, e. e. cummings, Malcolm Cowley, and Walt Disney—but all were part of a generation seeking something greater and grander than what they could find at...
Imagination and the Creative Impulse in the New Literatures in English
Imagination and the Creative Impulse in the New Literatures in English brings together the proceedings of a symposium organised by the editors at the University of Trento in 1990. At a time when the study of the post-colonial literatures is gaining more widespread recognition, scholars based mainly at universities in Italy and Germany were invited to address the manner in which writers are giving literary expression to the complexity of contemporary post-colonial and multicultural societies and to consider, from their differing perspectives on the new literatures, central questions of formal experimentation, linguistic innovation, social and political commitment, textual theory and cross-cul...

In Search of the Book As a Work of Art
In Search of the Book as a Work of Art asks questions about how we understand the words 'art' and 'book' and what happens when we put them together. It argues that the categories by which we have distinguished different kinds of books no longer tell us what we are looking at when we look at new books, including many made by trade publishers. Categories like 'fine press book' and 'artist book' have served useful purposes in the past, but are now redundant in the face of the incredible range of categorical overlaps in books that people are actually making. Along the way, this book explores and explodes a number of current ideas about books whose use-by dates are seen by the author as well and ...
