As ever, there’s a really good selection of work in the issue; especially to my taste is Katy Lewis Hood’s ‘smoke screen   fragments’, which makes lyrical use of coordinates and trig-point measurements, as ways of naming… Continue reading ‘Five a Week’ in Blackbox Manifold + review

The first of several posts detailing the HECTIC ACTIVITY going into ASLE-UKI & Land2’s biennial conference, Cross Multi Inter Trans, to be held at Sheffield Hallam next week (6-8 Sept 17)––from my perspective at least.

Son Translations in Alba Londres 06: Contemporary Mexican Poetry

Alba Londres 06 cover art by Tilda Rodríguez Past

Three of my Son Translations, of Mexican folk songs in the Son Jarocho and Son Huasteco genres, are included in the most recent edition of Alba Londres 06: Contemporary Mexican Poetry. The subtitle itself makes me uneasy about my contributions, as in one sense they are neither ‘contemporary’, nor even ‘poetry’ as narrowly defined, being… Continue reading Son Translations in Alba Londres 06: Contemporary Mexican Poetry

Ithaca in Bookshops!

Dulwich Books

My little Homeric dialogue + coda about entropic decay/the epic cycle, published by new Norfolk small press Dow House, has found its way into some bookshops. The best bit is the pictures by Josephine Marston: a rather evil-looking Jörmungandr curling around Yggdrasil in frontispiece, and Penelope really having to get on with some weaving so… Continue reading Ithaca in Bookshops!
