Days of ‘49
Alan Halsey, Gavin Selerie
Published by West House Books 1999
Edition 1st
Format Second-hand books Condition Mint
Poetry, prose & b/w graphics exploring 1949, the year of the authors’ births. ‘Days of ’49 is a beautiful and moving volume ... so brilliant that it points to a whole possible new road’ (Andrew Duncan). ‘A conception of poetry not as confession or self-expression but as record and recognition that the individual is somehow an expression of history as well as being expressed by it. Days of ’49 invites you to participate in a kind of performative meditation about history, poetry and texts and about the private life and global systems’ (David Kennedy). Typeset at Five Seasons Press.

In White Writing is a narrative visual poem or graphic novella or both. A record in either case of a life lived on paper, the writing-dust of 2007-10 retrieved, collaged and drawn over, drawn back on itself in a wholesale reversal or revaluation of print values, white text and images showing up and out of a solid and dreamless black ground.
