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.

When the Whip Comes Down: A Novel About De Sade

This hallucinatory, lyrical novel posits that the Marquis de Sade, having survived for 178 years after his recorded death in 1814, indulges his obsessive erotic fantasies in the company of initiates - young men and women whom he has invited to his isolated country home. This de Sade drives a Mercedes and is familiar with the modern world of nuclear bombs, cocaine, AIDS, Picasso's Guernica, Hitler, William Burroughs and LSD...Sade's jolting collision with the here and now exposes the moral confusion and emptiness at the heart of our genocidal century."" - Publishers Weekly. ""Cross one of Anne Rice's eerie vampires with the historical Marquis de Sade and you get the protagonist of this provocative but murky novel."" - Library Journal.
