Launch of "Odersfelt" by Milner Place
The poem Odersfelt originally
appeared in the collection Caminante published by the
Wrecking Ball Press in 2003. Last summer Milner asked Dan if he would like to
take some photos
to accompany the poem and publish them as a separate book. This book is the
result of their collaboration
and includes 17 colour plates in a limited edition hand bound volume of 50
copies. There is also an
unlimited soft bound edition and an audio CD. If you wish top purchase please go
to the publications
page where you can buy safely via our Pay Pal facility. Alternatively come to
launch on the 10th.

Launch of "The Cage" by Ian Parks
We are delighted to announce the
publication of the latest pamphlet by Ian Parks. This new
collection
offers a personal insight into the interior world of one of England's most
subtle lyric poets. Most of the poems
in this collection are new and have been written in an extraordinary outburst of
creative activity. Throughout
the editorial process Ian bombarded us with new poems of such quality that we
had to continually
reset the manuscript. The poems in this collection mark a significant departure
into a more intimate and
personal style.
