Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Literary Nonfiction. Edited and introduced by Roger Scott. In 1941 David Gascoyne planned an anthology of prose extracts, The Naked Eye, which was to include a LETTER TO AN ADOPTED GODFATHER. The anthology itself was one of the poet's numerous abandoned projects, but the letter to Henry Miller did survive in typescript and is here published for the first time. LETTER TO AN ADOPTED GODFATHER is an eloquent, moving and naked piece of writing, almost shocking in the excoriating honesty of Gascoyne's rigorous self-examination. This epistle chimes with the most memorable extended entries in the Journals where he indulges at times in masochistic introspection and records, as here, periods of acute emotional and spiritual crises.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Art. Collage. Alaric Sumner was my close friend, colleague and fellow-poet, generous-spirited, contemplative, sociologically re- appraising, intelligent, witty and patient. He was an active force in the Gay Liberation Movement as early as 1972. His productions for the stage were brilliant, as had always been his dynamic, self- discovering texts. [.] EPOS, A SONG FOR ALARIC is a result of his death on March 24th, 2000. Because he died very suddenly my side of our dialogue continued. I needed a language for speaking into absence. The creation of SONG is made with mobile components representing incidents, ideas and topics within a luminosity and shadings.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Fiction. London is a city of ruins and rubble: in fighting against a police state Britain has become almost a police state itself. Rationing is still in place, the black market is thriving, medical shortages have resulted in antibiotics being watered down. Though Britain was possessed of great decency there was a limit to what it might be expected to bear after suffering six years of war. The barbarities of war had changedpeoples' attitudes; nobody thought of foreigners in terms of human beings. The Salvation Army were singing of salvation while the kids on the street were singing saucy songs about inn keepers' daughters and German officers that had crossed the line. New arrival seventeen-year old Bridget Kelly dreams of a world where everyone is equal. There is no cause more dangerous warns one council official as she sets about the task of trying to make her dream come true. She is courageous and determined and in terrible danger. Her young nephew Michael schemes and plots to win the metal mountain, a gothic edifice, a treacherous Hades, a fabulous kingdom of iron. Meanwhile, his young aunt has come under the scrutiny of the British secret police. Blackmail, betrayal and murder follow. A perverse grand tragedy with an edge of iron. The skies darken. An urgent, brutal and ultimately tragic resolution is waiting in the railside scrapyard of THE METAL MOUNTAIN.This glittering alp of damage, an unsorted mound heaped from the discarded toys of capitalism, is as potent a symbol for our contemporary confusions as the dust heaps of Dickens. Nature is avenged and Healy has given us a brave sequel, as genuine fiction now, to The Grass Arena.--Iain Sinclair Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
