The Ground Aslant
Recent years have seen the arrival of new approaches to writing about landscape. Partly to do with new eco-sensibilities, this is however also due to a realisation that landscape writing need not be confined to literary tourism, and to the injection of radical poetic styles. This is the first volume to engage with this new wave of writing.
Forlorn Light
To write these poems, I select a paragraph from a Woolf novel-The Waves or Mrs. Dalloway-and only use the words from that paragraph to create a poem. I essentially write poems while doing a word search using Virginia Woolf as source material. I don't allow myself to repeat words, add words, or edit the language for tense or any other consideration. These poems are simultaneously defined by both Woolf's choices with language as well as my own. They feel like an homage to this writer I so admire as well as a way of authentically expressing my lived experience.

The Red and Yellow Book
The Red and Yellow Book was published by Textures in 1986, the imprint of Penny Bailey. My recollection is that little from the book had been published elsewhere previously. This was partly because it was written and published very quickly. Its writing was accelerated by the personal events which at first appeared to interrupt my initial ideas about what I thought I was doing. The interruption became the real subject in various guises and my first introduction to such parabasis. The Red and Yellow Book was my second book to be published but in one sense it was the first. It was the first I wrote as a book rather than as a collection of poems. --Kelvin Corcoran
The Road North
the road north is a word-map of Scotland, composed by Alec Finlay & Ken Cockburn as they travel through their homeland, guided by the Japanese poet Basho, whose Osu-no-Hosomichi (Narrow Road to the Deep North) is one of the masterpieces of travel literature. Ken and Alec left Edo (Edinburgh) on May 16, 2010 - the very same date that Basho and his companion Sora departed in 1689 - and on their return, on May 16, 2011, they published 53 collaborative audio & visual poems describing the landscapes they had seen and the people they had met.
Virgil's Aeneid
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
I'm Working Here
Anna Mendelssohn (1948-2009) authored poetry, fiction, drama, and life writing; she was also a visual artist, musician, and translator. From the early 1980s, Mendelssohn composed 19 poetry collections and published in journals receptive to her experimental, charged lyrics, and retained a marginal, if constant, presence in the poetry community.
Everything Awake
Everything Awake was written during a dreamy, disorienting period of insomnia. In the middle of the night, I began studying Catullus, imagining that his hendecasyllabic rhythms might shush me to sleep. Instead, they prompted a series of eleven-line poems with eleven syllables per line. I was drawn to the number, via Catullus, because it felt both excessive and insufficient, just like the space of an insomniac's day. Eleven opened up onto an expanse in which I could think about dwelling, in a day, at the foot of a wind-swept mountain, in a family of humans, animals and plants, all of whom needed my care. Like Catullus's neoteric poems, these poems attempt to bring the private, domestic space ...
The Paths of Survival
The Paths of Survival explores the fragility of the written word; the ways in which it is destroyed and the ways in which it endures against all the odds. Tracing the few surviving fragments of Aeschylus's lost tragedy, Myrmidons, the volume moves back in time: from a scrap of papyrus in a library to Aeschylus revising the play in ancient Sicily.
Alashka
"Alashka" is a lost book. It was first published in 1979, spliced together with Tarn's "Selected Poems" up until that point. Distribution was limited, and thus Janet Rodney's first collection vanished from view. This new edition corrects that.
