Paperback. Etat : New. 1st. Seán Haldane's previous collections of poems have been in chronological order. But there are two chronologies: the order in which poems are written, and the order of the events they describe. For example there are six poems in The Memory Tree (2015) which concern events before The Coast and Inland (19…68). Haldane has written poems set in Italy while living in Canada, poems set in Canada while living in England. His longest collection so far, Always Two (2010), contains about 280 poems set in four European countries, the USA, and six Canadian provinces. Since this is a selection, not a collection, he has felt free to organise the poems in a loose chronological order of writing, and to put poems which belong' together -- whether in place, time, or person -- in separate sections. The last section includes recent poems which have been set in song cycles by the Canadian composers James Moffet (Poems of Absence) and David Jaeger (The Echo Cycle).

Paperback. Etat : New. Tony Moscardini has exchanged life in a rain-lashed Scottish city packed with incident for the sun-baked predictability of a small medieval hilltop town in rural Italy. He has given up onerous full-time employment in daily journalism and found fulfilment in photography and guerrilla film-making. More impor…tantly, he has found what feels a lot like true love.And yet, if he's being honest with himself, life in Castel di Colonia has also begun to feel a little bit dull.So what will he find on his return to Glasgow for a weekend? Old foes? Long-forgotten disappointments? Fresh excitements? Overwhelming temptation? Will the happier new Tony yield to his pessimistic former self.

Paperback. Etat : New. Water has always been a constant theme in Gordon Meade's poetry, from his earliest memories of the West Sands at St Andrews, through the Northumberland coastline, via County Cork and the canals of Venice, to the beaches and harbours of the East Neuk of Fife. Another prevalent theme in his work is the exper…ience of a variety of non-human animals, whether encountered in the wild or in captivity, either free or abused.A more recent theme has been the poet's own experience of Stage Three and Stage Four Cancer; its diagnosis, its treatment, and life with a terminal illness. All of the above areas are represented in Beyond the Ninth Wave which closes with over a dozen new poems published here, in book form, for the first time.

Paperback. Etat : New. Magic is afoot.When the country's most wanted man inexplicably hands himself into the police, decades after absconding from the state mental institute, a young, but damaged lawyer is called back from his recuperation to interview him. As Thomas Leven is drawn into the complex, preternatural mind of Westerw…ick born serial killer Angus John MacMillan, what appeared a perfunctory task quickly proves to be anything but.Delving deeper into the malign elements of MacMillan's story, Thomas Leven starts to unravel, not only questioning his own faith but his sanity as he comes to the chilling realisation that true evil is all around. Set in Glasgow's West End, and on the fictitious island of the title, Westerwick is a claustrophobic tale of the macabre, the mischievous and the malevolent, serving as both an urban gothic satire and a record of modern devilry.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The 2020 collection Korean Letters gathers together the poems written in the four years since The Bright Tethers. The words of its title poems were culled from fragments of letters written by Cameron's late father, George, while on National Service in Korea. The book includes 'In a Darker Vein',… a cycle of poems set to music by the Toronto-based composer, David Jaeger, and also 'In the Epileptic Colony', a long poem recording the intensity of Cameron's former experiences as a careworker in a residential 'hospital school'. Both of these books confirm the poet and reviewer D.A. Prince's judgement of Cameron's achievement: 'Thoughtful, tentative, musical, human in scale, these are poems which deserve to last.' Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Etat : New. It's 1965 and provocative author Henry Miller is taken incognito to an infamous title fight. In the turbulent aftermath of the bout, Miller is forced to battle his way through the ensuing melee in order to make a vital connection with the keeper of a tightly guarded secret. 'Is it safe?' Twenty years later…, a young Maine waitress receives an unusual bequest. From the estate of an elderly patron, May Morgenstern takes ownership of a bound collection of letters, hitherto unseen correspondence between her late friend and the aforementioned writer in which he not only recounts the story of how he came to be accused of the slaying of the man who fathered her but how his fate came to be linked with that of future heavyweight champion, Sonny Liston. George Paterson's epistolary tale of murder and chicanery is a study of chaos in instalments. 'The Girl, The Crow, The Writer And The Fighter' is an incendiary, exciting, 'what if?' page turner which spans continents and lifetimes.

Paperback. Etat : New. The River is a life-spanning epic novel about death and new beginnings. There's a saying, beloved of Scottish grannies: "Whit's fur ye will no' go by ye". Seemingly embracing this maxim, Lachlan McCormack lives his life as aimless as a piece of driftwood, but somehow gets to where he always wanted to be -…where the river meets the sea. The novel is a love story, both to his childhood sweetheart, and to Scotland, and follows Lachlan's journey through seven decades of the nation's political, sporting and cultural history (and disappointments). Along the way, it appears that only death has the power to propel him onward, and the novel revisits the seven significant deaths that have shaped him and mapped his journey. It explores the cyclical nature of life, love, happiness, and Scotland's ongoing struggle with its place in the world.
