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. There is an obstinately tender patience in these poems, a care that hears the sounds of words still as the fact of human voices. In a world of increasing abstraction, such solidness is a great and generous blessing-Robert Creeley. It is Caddel's ability to see the infinite in lakes and woods and/ maggots in apples/ small blue// flower by the/ path (Baltic Coast VI: Continuous Present), coupled with his care and subtlety in drawing it out, that give the poems in LARKSONG SIGNAL their own particular luminosity. LARKSONG SIGNAL is Richard Caddel's third major collection, following SWEET CICELY and UNCERTAIN TIME. He is the founder of Pig Press and is Co-Director of the Basil Bunting Poetry Centre at the University of Durham.

Poetics. A kind of biography in poetics, INTERVIEWS THROUGH TIME AND SELECTED PROSE weaves disparate threads into a narrative guide to the life and work of British poet Roy Fisher. Fisher's intelligent, candid voice comes alive in this carefully edited selection of interviews from 1975 to 1998; the picture is filled out by an autobiographical piece that covers the poet's early years, by Fisher's own tongue-in-cheek review of his last collection, and by five of the Talks for Words that he recorded for the BBC in the late 1970s. Writing in Poets of Britain and Ireland since 1960, Deborah Mitchell lauded Fisher's ability to combine an openness to a wide range of international and modernist influences with a scrupulous honesty towards his experience and a healthy distrust of the bogus and the metaphysical. SPD also carries Fisher's chapbook IT FOLLOWS THAT.

Poetry. This collection reprints work from David Wevill's four collections of poetry published in London during the 1960s and 1970s, and adds to them work from his subsequent Canadian collections. Wevill is the recipient of several prizes and was included in the renowned Penguin Modern Poets series before his first full collection appeared. His previous works include Figure of Eight, Child Eating Snow, and Solo With Grazing Deer.

<p>Poetry. This COLLECTED POEMS brings between a single set of covers all the work that the author wishes to preserve and also includes some recent unpublished work, which shows that his talent remains undimmed. The book covers 40 years of Lee Harwood's writing, and demonstrates a consistency in the author's fusing of a peculiarly English sensibility with more international styles of writing than have been the norm in recent times in the UK.</p>

This book presents the entire text of the epic poem "Migraciones" in its original Spanish, together with Mark Schafer's Englsih translation. This remarkable poem is structured in seven books, of which only the first six have so far been published in one volume in Spanish. The seventh book has appeared thus far only in a limited edition booklet in Mexico, and is collceted in this volume with its companions for the first time. Gloria Gervitz is a Mexican poet (born 1942, Mexico City) whose work is rooted in memory, the Jewish diaspora, and the crossing of cultures.

Christopher Middleton, long a resident of the USA, is one of Britain's finest poets. He was writing (not for publication) his 'Nocturnal Journal' during the two years prior to his retirement from the University of Texas at Austin, where he had taught German and Comparative Literature since 1966. The journal appears here in conjunction with conversations tape-recorded by Marius Kociejowski in London during October 2002 and June 2003. In both areas Middleton attends eloquently to his concerns as poet, translator, and essayist: values intrinsic and peculiar to poetry, the fundamental human aptitude (and craving) for aesthetic expression, and the reading of sign-systems usually deemed haphazard (e.g., a Turkish sea-mew, a soccer match, the aprons of waiters, rubbish in the Paris Metro, and a fresco in Cappadocia). Also included here, by way of introduction to the volume, is a brief but entertaining reminiscence of his first encounters with Christopher Middleton by Marius Kociejowski.

Catherine Walsh is an Irish poet whose work owes more, in formal terms, to American models than it does to the Irish poetic tradition. Her work is experimental, and questing, and operates over large spans. 'City West' is a long poem, the most recent of her works in this vein to be completed. Shearsman Books will publish another long poem, "Optic Verve", in 2006.
