This was the first publication of the complete text (insofar as it can be contained within a set of covers) of Allen Fisher's 1970s project PLACE - including Place Book 1, Becoming, Stane and Unpolished Mirrors. It was published in 2005. This second edition (2016) has had slight corrections to errors but is otherwise the same book in the same cover design. PLACE was Allen Fisher's now somewhat legendary poetic project of the 1970s. Originally published over several years as a series of interconnecting books, virtually all of them now unobtainable, it incorporates influences from Blake, Olson, Pope, Wordsworth, Robert Kelly, Walter Benjamin, Jung, Dickens, Foucault, Wilhelm Reich, Marxism, the Situationists, conceptual art and researches in mythology, linguistics, psychology, mathematics, immunology, topography, zoology and much else - and yet remains unclassifiable.

<p>This is not just another modern sonnet anthology. THE REALITY STREET BOOK OF SONNETS delves more thoroughly than ever before into the myriad ways poets have stretched, deconstructed and re-composed the venerable form: here we have free-verse sonnets, prose sonnets, offbeat takes on the sonnet tradition, and even visual and concrete sonnets. We take as our time frame 1945 to the 21st century, with poets ranging from Edwin Denby (b. 1903) to those currently in their twenties, from the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. In his introductory essay Jeff Hilson, the editor, speaking of Ted Berrigan's regeneration of the form, writes: 'It also registers something of a paradox, announcing the sonnet as an impossibility whilst demonstrating its continued vitality, not unlike Beckett's "I can't go on, I'll go on."'</p>

<p>"The Mysterious Stranger", an anonymous tale originally published in German in 1823 and translated into English soon after, is the earliest vampire story with many of the elements that later found their way into Bram Stoker's Dracula: a Carpathian Mountains setting, an aristocratic vampire who sleeps in a coffin in a ruined crypt by day and has dominion over wolves, a young woman in peril.... Long out of print, this story is a gripping read in its own right. The volume is completed with two other rarely reprinted vampire tales: "The Last Lords of Gardonal" (1867) by William Gilbert, the father of the famous D'Oyly Carte librettist, and Mary Cholondeley's 1890 chiller, "Let Loose".</p>
