Poetry. One of the world's most prolific poets, the enigmatic David Jaffin here provides us with his second collection of 2013. The style does not change, but the intensity of his vision remains constant.

Poetry. This book forms the second half of Andrew Duncan's long-discussed and elusive manuscript Threads of Iron, which was the subject of an extended analysis by J.H. Pyrnne in 1982. In PN Review, Geoffrey Ward called it the great unpublished book of the '80s, the recipient of more agonized and extensive debate than many published collections of poetry. J.H. Prynne commented, I am surprised to find how steadily I admire this work and how compelling I find the force which it claims.... Containing poems of great beauty and thematic range, this collection still bears out the praise delivered by Prynne seventeen years ago.

Poetry. Duncan writes a poetry of monotonous power, with its origins in an extreme case of alienation. Despite the bewildering variety of arcane and sophisticated contexts in which his rhetoric is deployed, it is almost embarassingly amenable to recuperation....Science-fiction, shamanism, psychosis, violence, myth and dream are significant to Duncan chiefly as mundane reality, which is otherwise invariably subject to caricature -- James Keery, PN Review. Andrew Duncan's work is adept, inordinate and alone...like nothing else in current British poetry -- Tim Allen.

Poetry. Kelvin Corcoran has allied a strikingly individual intelligence to a genuinely musical sensibility -- Don Paterson, The Oberver. Yes: Monday cracks across a grey enamel sky./ No: Monday cracks across etc./ A fragmentation pattern called the backward calendar,/reduced to naught, a circle in a red square. (Is This the Breaking of My First Life?) There is a clear sad music playing right through this book of answers, steady and unmistakable -- Roy Fisher.

Poetry. "It shows that if there is a use for the lyric, it lies neither in the expression of a yearning for transcendence, nor in their expression of pathos in the failure to find it. Rather it lives in the unflinching record of an irredeemably divided existence, the truthfulness of which could compel recognition, and conjecture out of incompletion the spectre of support" - Geoff Ward.

Poetry. "FIVE EASY PIECES provides a very accessible opening into Mills' work, with all of his main themes and devices present: the found text, the expressive use of space on the page, the landscape as source and record, the personal lyric..."--Randolph Healy.

Poetry. Jaffin's new book is his seventh in a remarkable series of annual collections since he returned to writing poetry in the mid-1990s. Of Jaffin and the trademark short-lined lyricism of his previous books such as THROUGH LOST SILENCES, Edward Batley of the University of London writes, "Succinct and challenging enforcers of new insights and deeper understanding, his poems soar in far higher realms than those of prosaic description and rational analysis. Their hallmark, the unexpected, unnatural and natural sentence-, line- and word-breaks, disrupts habitual ways of thought, catches in the act of thinking as in the act of breathing, envisioning the variegated immediacies of higher meaning. There is sincerity and conviction in Jaffin's crisp, multisensory poeticisation of ideas.

Poetry. The second full-length collection by this woefully under-recognized expatriate American poet, following on from her early Montemora collection, The Fountain (1982).

Poetry."David Jaffin is a master of the restrained but puposeful statement. If his poems do not have quite the briefness of the haiku, they have a good deal of its light-dark inflection and rounded perfection of form. The fact is, that if one wants restraint and elegance, he will find it in abundance here. Jaffin's subtleties are, in short, dazzling"-- The Library Journal

Poetry. Another collection of delicate, short-lined lyrics by this poet-theologian, his sixth Shearsman book since returning to writing. David Jaffin is American, but lives in Bavaria. This book is co-published with St. Johannis Druckerei, Lahr, Germany.

SUNDRY ABDUCTIONS is a book full of surprises that reveal truths one couldn't have guessed, matching intelligence with beauty that is not easily achieved. Readers will find both narrative and lyric poems here, poems both spare and theological, dangerous and witty.

Poetry. African American Studies. Jayne Cortez is the author of eleven books of poetry and performer of her poems with music on nine recordings. Her voice is celebrated for its political, surrealistic, dynamic innovations in lyricism, and visceral sound. Cortez has presented her work and ideas at universities, museums, and festivals around the world. "Cortez has been and continues to be an explorer, probing the valleys and chasms of human existence. No ravine is too perilous, no abyss too threatening for Jayne Cortez"--Maya Angelou. "If you haven't read Jayne Cortez, you're missing some of the best that life has to offer. A compellingly original voice of fire and freedom"--Franklin Rosemont. "Jayne Cortez's poems are filled with images that most of us are afraid to see"--Walter Mosley.

Poetry. "Eula Biss writes in spare brushstrokes that evoke an emotional universe, by turns funny, scary, dreamlike, haunting. These prose poems are shards of gleaming observation, fragments of intimacy and illusion. Here we find our families and ourselves, our words and our silences"-Martin Espada. "With deceptively quiet, unflinching compassion, Eula Biss records the perceptual wedges that cleave the self from its origins. The family history refracted here is mutable, notable, more gravid than grave. THE BALLOONISTS holds a fresh line on confession, biography, and the formal uses of information in poetry"-Rebecca Wolff.
