They Who Saw The Deep
Geraldine Monk
Published by Parlor Press / Free Verse Editions 2016
Edition 1st
Format Second-hand books Condition Mint
At the heart of They Who Saw The Deep is the nature of water; water as giver and taker of life, luxuriant and lethal in equal measures. From the Libyan Sea to the savage sands of Morecambe Bay to the banks of the River Lune in the north of England where the poet’s ancestors were rowed across the river in their coffins to their final resting place. The eponymous sequence of poems finds the poet in the illusory safety of her kitchen whilst the outer world grows increasingly disturbed with wars and wild weather. It is set against the backdrop of the shipping forecast and weaves the myths and legends of the ancient Mesopotamians through a litany of migrations down the ages to the present day.

Walks in a Daisy Chain
Geraldine Monk
Published by Magenta 1991
Edition 1st
Format Second-hand books Condition Mint
’Here are 41 characters, lyrical grumbles, smug self-assessments, flights of soliloquial frenzy, all linked, and all individually word-carved, the quarks and neutrons of the housewife, the fine and living art of the butcher, showing us our exciting in-built gift for getting what really matters essentially wrong, not smart satires but basic fun-kits, the swank of the policeman’s helmet, the sub-editor’s stunning punning, sliding incorrigibly from one profession to another, till the final sonic link joins up.’ Bill Griffiths

Cusp: Recollections of Poetry in Transition
Geraldine Monk (editor)
Published by Shearsman 2012
Edition 1st
Format Second-hand books Condition Mint
’This book is probably best described as a collective autobiography. With few exceptions the poets write about their origins and influences and how they became involved in poetry. My main objective is to present the spirit of a brief era which, in retrospect, was exceptional in its momentum towards the democratisation and dissemination of poetry. The era or ‘cusp’ I’m concentrating on is between World War II and the advent of the World Wide Web.’ (from Geraldine Monk’s introduction) Contributions by Tim Allen, Tony Baker, Fred Beake, Tilla Brading, Paul Buck, Jim Burns, Ian Davidson, Peter Finch, Roy Fisher, John Freeman, Glenda George, Alan Halsey & David Annwn, Kris Hemensley, Peter Hodgkiss, Nicholas Johnson, Chris McCabe, Anthony Mellors, Geraldine Monk, Hannah Neate, Connie Pickard, Tom Pickard, Frances Presley, Peter Riley, John Seed, Chris Torrance and Gillian Whiteley.
