Keijiro Suga’s Transit Blues  ponders wide horizons including man’s relationship with and impact on nature, with the passing of time, and what it is as humans to live in the presence of inevitable decline and death. A deeply thoughtful and percipient voice engages the reader, surreal and dreamlike imagery offering fresh and lucent perspectives. Essentially elegiac, seeking unity, clarity and connection Keijiro Suga’s poetry brings together refined philosophical thought and the wisdom of the heart. The dignified, ever sustaining and watchful presence of nature resonates throughout this elegantly paced and fine collection.

In a series of textured prose currents, UNINTERRUPTED TIME assays confluent moments of familial and intimate relations, tracing the mortal body's insistent and at times devastating transitions.

Sing to Me is a collection of poems prompted by classical Greek narratives in such sources as Homer, Hesiod and Ovid. Around Grecian orchards … in Trojan battlefields … washed up with Aphrodite … paeans reveal indictments and human concerns surface.

Beginning with a small rebellion, She Reconsiders Life on the Run, fearlessly and without sentimentality, charts a course through sexuality, loss and grief - via the science lab, the life of Virginia Woolf, and more - eventually arriving at love.

Oz Hardwick’s collection of prose poems Learning to have lost  the passing of time, memory, old age, illness, death and how these resonate and move within and around each other . True to form, Hardwick achieves a sense of a musical refrain and rhythm underpinning and connecting this absorbing collection. While the subject matter is weighty and the pain from the litany of loss candidly expressed, a resolute humour asserts itself throughout that is sometimes sinister, sometimes surreal, often surprising and enormously engaging.
