Long poem. ‘Roxy is a commentary upon the postmodern condition. Its concern is with image, in particular the dialectic of image as mediated by fashion, and in particular again, fashion as what I think D.H.Lawrence called ‘sex in the head’. Roxy ‘herself’ is ‘a kaleidoscope of female presences filtered through a male consciousness’. I believe this is a major work which is going to do more than survive the flak thrown at it, it’s going to gain in significance over the next few years.’ (Tim Allen, Terrible Work)

’Articulated within fourteen-line structures that formally engage ideas of order and release from order, these poems investigate our essential human needs for framework and creative invention, for support and balance as well as freedom to withstand, grow and survive restriction. These are life-forms in a true metaphysical style.’ Eric Mottram

Escafeld Hangings

Geraldine Monk

Published by West House Books 2005

Edition 1st

Format Second-hand books Condition Mint

’Escafeld’ is the Anglo-Saxon name for Sheffield. In ‘Escafeld Hangings’ Geraldine Monk trawls through this ‘City of Eternal Construction’ concentrating mainly on the enigmatic figure of Mary Queen of Scots who was imprisoned there from 1570 until 1584. Without assuming personae ‘Escafeld Hangings’ offers a psychological mapping of political imprisonment with its implications for our own time. It also presents a Queen of Scots who escapes into the future and talks as freely of Ikea and the Robin Hood Airport as of stomachers and jesters. In the final sequence Monk views our contemporary political landscape from the seclusion of her garden shed.

’Escafeld Hangings’ includes an audio CD of a performance of ‘Mary Through the Looking Glass’ by Geraldine Monk and Ligia Roque.

Geraldine Monk, Martin Archer, Julie Tippets

Published by Discus Music

Format Second-hand books Condition Mint

Audio CD. Geraldine Monk writes the words and declaims/sings/projects them in a slightly rough voice full of drama and Dada seriousness. Providing a more operatic/scat component is Julie Tippets’ soprano support. And weaving through these is Archer’s electronica, moving with the voices, supporting and enhancing the s(ung)poken component.
