Jeremy Reed's collection of poems for the Nineties shows his singular talent at its best, reaching out to a new decade. He explores a series of paintings with language that embraces both analysis and sheer celebration of he power, and beauty, of art. His minted visual imagery leads us on journeys into imaginary landscapes. A new maturity is apparent in poems such as 'Always', 'All the President's Men' and 'Love and Death', and especially in the magnificent concluding 'Prayer'. Nineties is vivid proof of David Gascoyne's description of Jeremy Reed as 'the most outstanding poet of his generation'.

Nineties (Cape poetry paperbacks)

A biography and critical assessment of Lou Reed as rock star, icon and street poet. Since his days as Andy Warhol's protege performing with the Velvet Underground, Lou Reed has established himself as one of the most creative and startlingly original performers ever to pick up a microphone. An acutely perceptive writer, he has gone from extremes of anti-establishment subversion to supporting worthy causes like Amnesty International and Greenpeace. The story of this transformation and his extraordinary life is included in this book.

The imaginative pressure which drives a poet's genius often exacts a high price, pushing some poets to extremities of suffering or the brink of insanity. Here, the imaginatively gifted Reed writes of poets and their work from the inside. The total commitment of the poet to his art is explored. The poets range from John Clare and Gerard Manley Hopkins to Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Rilke, Robert Lowell, and Theodore Roethke, among others. Brilliant and deeply felt...a timely recall to that level of experience which it is the proper task of the poet to explore."" - Kathleen Raine. ""Full of rich and careful writing, dense with pleasure in words that pleasure the world and waken us to its lovely surprises."" - Seamus Heaney.

Delirium

Peter Owen Publishers

An imaginative novel recreating the life of Isidore Ducasse, the self-styled Comte de Lautreamont who he died under mysterious circumstances in 1871. He left almost no clues to his existence, except the explosive, astonishing prose poem, Les Chants de Maldoror, precursor to the works of the Surrealists. Reed evokes a fictional life of the notorious Comte extraordinary for its concentration of poetic power and for its excursions into the psychological hells of the underworld. In identifying himself with Lautreamont, he succeeds in an uncanny impersonation of the style of that morbid youth, obsessed with decay."" - The Times. ""Written in a lush, elegant prose...a satisfying work of biography."" - Bloomsbury Review.
