Noon
This anthology presents a selection of poems from the issues of NOON: journal of the short poem that appeared between 2004 and 2017. Philip Rowland has assembled a richly suggestive, renga-like chain of some of the most interesting minimalist poetry being written in English today.
Something Other Than Other
'Something Other Than Other' is Philip Rowland's most representative collection to date. Ranging from minimal, concrete and found poems to epigrammatic reflections, imagist snapshots, haiku and tanka, the book unfolds in four carefully sequenced sections, including 'Surveillance', a long series of short poems based on observations of people and places in Rowland's adoptive home town of Tokyo. Throughout, this collection invites us to dwell on the multi-faceted relationships between its parts, continually opening space for the reader to listen for 'the sound of our listening'. 'You can't step in the same Rowland poem twice' - Joseph Massey

Magician of Sound
French composer Maurice Ravel was described by critics as a magician, conjurer, and illusionist. Scholars have been aware of this historical curiosity, but none so far have explained why Ravel attracted such critiques or what they might tell us about how to interpret his music. Magician of Sound examines Ravel's music through the lens of illusory experience, considering how timbre, orchestral effects, figure/ground relationships, and impressions of motion and stasis might be experienced as if they were conjuring tricks. Applying concepts from music theory, psychology, philosophy, and the history of magic, Jessie Fillerup develops an approach to musical illusion that newly illuminates Ravel's...
