Phenomenal Reading
"This book examines individually and collectively poets widely recognized as formal and linguistic innovators. Why do their words appear in unconventional orders? What end do these arrangements serve? Why are they striking? Brian Reed focuses on poetic form as a persistent puzzle, utilizing historical fact and the views of other critics to clarify how particular literary works are constructed and how those constructions lead to specific effects." -- Back cover.

Halo - Fall of Reach
After creating more than 800 colonies, the United Nations Space Command has encountered the Covenant - an alien race bent on obliterating humanity. The burnt cinder that used to be the peaceful farming world Harvest and its millions of dead colonists serve as testimony to the Covenant's intentions. But if Dr. Catherine Halsey can equip the UNSC's super-soldiers, the Spartans, in her new MJOLNIR armor, humanity just might stand a fighting chance against the aliens' seemingly unstoppable campaign. Covenant continues the adaptation of Eric Nylund's novel Halo: The Fall of Reach, based on the international videogame sensation. COLLECTING: Halo: Fall of Reach - Covenant 1-4
The Last Decadent
Brian Jones, rock'n'roll godstar, founder member of the Rolling Stones, the murdered androgyne whose fragile psyche was ultimately broken by an industry which, nonetheless, provided him with the means to luxuriate in the bizarre and unorthodox. Jones's alcohol and drugs excesses, his tormented and often psychotic states, his dandified propensity to cross-dress, his love of literature, privileged background and refined speaking voice all placed him in the decadent tradition, the last of a rarefied aesthete's lineage. His tragic murder at the age of twenty-seven further substantiated his place in the Byronic legend of the chosen one who dies young. In The Last Decadent, author Jeremy Reed locates in Jones's obsessive fantasy world a terrain firmly aligned with the opium visions of Charles Baudelaire, the sartorial extravagance of Oscar Wilde, the sybaritic indulgences of Count Stenbock. Reed vividly recolours Brian Jones's brief, but incandescent and extraordinarily subversive life amidst the pop and fashion whirlwind of the Sixties, and in doing so presents perhaps the most illuminating and evocative portrait yet written of a fallen rock'n'roll angel.
