e-Management
In today's rush towards e-Business many organizations have failed to recognize that the responsibilities of IT Managers have significantly changed. No longer do the tried and trusted methods of the 3- or 4-GL lifecycle retain the value they once possessed; and the more we try to fit new e-Business developments into old and ill-fitting processes and practices, the greater the danger of compromising the business altogether. Ian Gouge offers an insight into the very real - and new - challenges faced by IT managers and professionals, such as: - What is e-Business? - What are the implications of e-Business for the IT Professional? - What are the 'systems' expectations of both internal and external customers? What does the IT Manager need to consider to make an effective contribution to the new business model e-Management is a valuable guide for those responsible for the management of IT in the burgeoning world of e-Business. It also provides insight for those business managers who are more dependent on information technology for their business than perhaps they realise.

The Time We Turned
Martyn Crucefix's new poems vividly evoke the landscapes of northern England and - in a sequence of sonnets inspired by the writing of Rosalia de Castro - the north west of Spain. But more than place, they explore the ways in which we inhabit time - how we are harmed and healed by it, how we deny, ignore, sublimate, repeat or reprise it. I'd want to say it was past seven o'clock or perhaps by then even seven-fifteen - I'm sure of it now - a quarter past the hour was the time we turned and part of what it meant ('The map house')
Dust, Dancing
In Ian Gouge's eclectic new collection, Dust, dancing, many of the protagonists find themselves thwarted: by ambition, by love, by old age. Interlaced with occasional victories, they experience both avoidable and unavoidable setbacks: the man tattooing his life history on his back; the woman fantasising about a Hollywood star; the man fired from his job; the actress believing she is destined to be 'a Bond Girl'; the policewoman making a gruesome discovery. We share the pleasure and pain associated with their various journeys, the resonance of our own experience often adding a personal veneer to our reading. Gouge's work has been compared to Henry James, Sally Rooney, Virginia Woolf and Ernest Hemingway. Dust, dancing is his fourth collection of short stories.
Blackwatertown
'Extremely intriguing with intricate twists and turns' Frederick Forsyth When maverick police sergeant Jolly Macken is banished to the sleepy 1950s Irish border village of Blackwatertown, he vows to find the killer of his brother – even if the murderer is inside the police. But a lot can happen in a week. Over seven days Macken falls in love, uncovers dark family secrets, accidentally starts a war and is hailed a hero and branded a traitor. When Blackwatertown explodes into violence, who can he trust? And is betrayal the only way to survive?
The Lovely Disciplines
Seren is thrilled to be publishing the new collection by Martyn Crucefix, widely acknowledged as one of the UK's finest poets. 'The Lovely Disciplines' is full of elegantly-crafted, intriguing poems. The 'disciplines' of the title turn out to encompass many of the manifestations of human love: of a child, a partner, of aging parents, of the world.
A Kind of Making
Doomed Spanish poet Federico Lorca, ill-fated Tudor battleship the Mary Rose, a Ming dynasty porcelain flask, a sawing horse: in a collection spanning almost 40 years, Tom Furniss's poetry ranges far and wide, forging connections between past and present, sculpting fresh images from the global and historical, and from the domestic and mundane. Several early poems, such as Chameleon and Break of Day, distil complex ideas into sharp, elliptical verse. Others are lyrical, expansive and digressive. Some are playful or political, or both. More recent poems, some inspired by memories of a Northamptonshire childhood, others by the joys of late fatherhood, display a muscular simplicity. Here and there are echoes of Wordsworth and Shelley, Bob Dylan and The Beatles, the writer's first loves and avowed early influences. But each poem is deeply personal and individual. They ring true with an authentic voice.

Punctuations from History
"Punctuations from History" is Ian Gouge's latest collection of poems, a volume that in various ways explores our place in, and relation to, history. It tries to assist with unravelling notions of "how we were / or how we are now / or how we might yet be"; fragments or mirrors offered up from our 'punctuated history'.
