Presents a collection of poems by Colin Simms - poet, naturalist, and lifelong independent observer. Born in 1939, he demonstrates the poet-naturalist's concern for precise observation, apposite language and cadence. North American wildlife and the Native American tribes, and their history, have been his life-long fascination.

Almost without exception the prose of Andrew Crozier, reviews and articles centred upon the close reading of poetry including fearless debate about the importance of some figures who have either been overlooked by the establishment or given little more than a cursory nod of acknowledgement, has been out of print for far too long.

David Miller's work is unclassifiable: he is a poet and a prose-writer, but his prose here is poetic. Some of the work is prose-poetry; some is narrative in nature and might instead be classified as experimental fiction.

'Birds, Beasts and Flowers' is one of the greatest books by an English poet in the twentieth century. Of Melville's achievement in Moby Dick, Lawrence says, when he 'gives us his sheer apprehension of the world, then he is wonderful, his book commands a stillness in the soul, an awe'. This is what Lawrence himself achieves in this volume.

Lawrence ... describes these poems as "intended as an essential story, or history, or confession", the critical experience occurring in the period of, "roughly, the sixth lustre of a man's life"-that is, from the age of 25 to 30. His Argument emphasizes the dramatic nature of the sequence.

Showcasing some of Michael Smith's more unusual translations, this volumes features a version of the Anglo-Saxon Battle of Maldon, together with translations of two long 18th-Century Irish poems, The Death of Art O'Leary and Sean O'Dwyer of the Glen, and 250 cantes flamencos.

This "Selected Poems" gives an overview of the career to date of one of the most exciting poets currently writing in Flemish or Dutch, and is built around two of the author's most renowned long poems, "Pornschlegel" and "Whooosh". This is the author's first collection in English.

"The Ash Range", originally published in Sydney in 1987, is a long work that mixes prose, poetry, reportage and illustrations - somewhat in the manner of William Carlos Williams' "Paterson" - to narrate a history of Gippsland, an area of south Victoria State.

"Pictures from Mayhew" takes the voices reported by Henry Mayhew in the mid-19th century and splices them together into poems, allowing the voices space and a chance to communicate again to another age. Every word in the book is drawn from Mayhew's transcriptions.

Consisting of 100 parts, the line-count in this work arcs from one line in part I to 50 lines in part 50, and thence back down to one in part 100 with parts of equal line-counts making mirroring pairs. Like many forms, self-imposed or otherwise, Cronin uses this apparently restrictive structure to support an original unfolding of verse.

John Welch's fifth collection of poems, this consists of material composed over the past six years, and contains work that arises both from physical illness and psycho-analysis, as well as a number of meditative pieces on place.

Rupert Loydell's new book, 'A Conference of Voices' includes two full collections: one, the title collection, which concentrates on his more lyrical voice, and the second, 'Multiple Exposure', which is devoted to a more experimental turn of work.

The Book of Things, Ilhan Berk's uniquely compelling lyric trilogy, is an uncommon meditation on the inner life of common things. Mud, bras, slugs and doors--Berk sings them all in this twisting, labyrinthine song of the strange and sensual, by turns playful and surprising, learned and hilarious; beautiful and unsettling in its quirkiness.

Ilhan Berk was born in 1918 in the Aegean city of Manisa. He once said "If a poem is written and goes out into the world, something in the world has changed." Berk's poems have been changing the world of Turkish poetry for the best part of seven decades.

Exploring fragmentation, delusion and parental ageing, the long poem Gestation forms part of Patricia Debney's next collection, Baby.
