Poems for a Liminal Age offers a view of the way a certain group of people at a certain time in their planet’s history see their lives and the world they live in. The poems, taken together, make for fascinating if not comfortable reading. Many present an impression of bleakness in situations of confusion, loneliness, sickness, mediocrity and boredom. There is a sense of waste, of goodness being squandered, of corruption, brutality and loss. Other poems, however, evoke a sense of becoming, a feeling for nostalgia, beauty, trust and friendship, an impression of longing and the possibility of vision. **** Poems for a Liminal Age is an anthology published by SPM Publications in support of Médecins Sans Frontières.

POEMS FOR A LIMINAL AGE

"In Carvoeiro &amp; Other Sequences has beautiful lyrical impact in its unusual and startling capacity for making language new in its arrangements and phrases. It also stood out through the sophisticated mastery of closed and open forms contained within it. The sonnet sequence is stunning. It is very difficult to write in this strict form with the naturalness of measured voice that Peter Oram achieves. This contrasts well against the looser, spacious and organic verse sequence 'Six Premature Ejaculations' that shows daring in both form and content." - Bob Beagrie &amp; Andy Willoughby Peter Oram was born in Cardiff in 1947, and has first class honours degrees in modern languages and composition. He has been active as writer, composer, translator, painter and guitarist. His publications include the novels Maddocks (Gomer 1997) and The Rub (Starborn 2001), The Page and the Fire (translations from the Russian, Arc 2007), three volumes of Rilke's French poetry in English translation; two volumes of poetry, White and Tease it Free (Starborn 2001 and 2012). He now lives in Germany near Nuremberg.

PILGRIM STATION is the long-awaited debut poetry collection by DOMINIC JAMES, a fresh, strong voice, combining a keen eye for beauty and a good ear for music in all the real as well as mythic elements around us.

PILGRIM STATION

JAMES, DOMINIC

The critic Theodor Adorno famously declared that 'writing poetry after Auschwitz is barbaric', and there is no shortage of brutality today, to challenge the intrinsic beauty and relevance of poetry. In these poems, which draw on his experience of working in some of the world's troubled places, Vernon exploits the energy created in the convergence of and collision between form, ideas, music and emotion, to explore what poetry offers. Reaching out to real and imagined figures from past and present, from near and far, he considers how the brushstroke of history touches us all, and what remains of us, each in our particular landscape, after the brush has passed. He examines the changes wrought on people and peoples by others and by circumstance, and the tension between our deep human connection across time and space, and the fundamental impermanence we cannot elude. In the end he seems to say that ultimately, all we can be certain of is uncertainty. And perhaps we should find a way to be content with that.
