Alan Halsey
Auto Dada Café
Published by Five Seasons Press 1987
Edition 1st
Condition Mint
Poems from the early 1980s. ‘Halsey’s writings unite formal experiment, linguistic precision, and concern for a vital relation between people and place.

Alan Halsey
A Robin Hood Book
Published by West House Books 1996
Edition 1st Limitation 26 lettered & signed
Condition Mint
Prose-poem/essay. ‘A Robin Hood Book is not a straight retelling of the Hood legends, but an examination and explanation, a convoluted diatribe where past and present politics are shown up for what they are (or were); a studious prose conceived from the twists and vagaries of history, part plot, part un-plot, embellished with poetry, or possessed to completion by the stabbing (un)certainties that come part and parcel with the outlaw mind ... we should try to read A Robin Hood Book as both radical and dangerous.’ (Paul Green, Chicago Review) ‘What happens here is an act of super-construction, this Robin Hood lives ... And the whole thing runs so smooth -- the language is childishly simple to begin with then gets progressively more involved, but look for the joins in vain. This is entertainment of a high order.’ (Tim Allen, Terrible Work) Typeset at Five Seasons Press. The trade edition is now out of print.

A Horse That Runs
To & Fro with Wallace Stevens
with
Kelvin Corcoran
Published by Constitutional Information 2015
Edition 1st
Condition Mint
A sequence of forty 12-line poems Kelvin Corcoran and Alan Halsey exchanged in the winter of 2014-15: an extended improvisation on prominent themes in the work of Wallace Stevens. Neither homage nor critique the sequence addresses the authors’ often conflicted feelings about Stevens’ poetry and particularly the evident division Stevens made between his personal and professional life and his writing -- a division which perhaps all poets must make and question to stay moderately sane.
