Escafeld Hangings
Published by West House Books 2005
Edition 1st
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.

Noctivagations
Published by West House Books 2002
Edition 1st
Condition Mint
Noctivagations collects poems and performance pieces written between the mid-nineties & 2001. Many are published here for the first time and range from the performance work Hidden Cities commissioned by the Ruskin School of Fine Art to her collaborations with the composer Martin Archer. ‘I am continuously awed by Monk’s opening out of experiential spaces both in terms of drama and close feeling, the way she catches the small words we offer in the face of immensities.’ (David Annwn) ‘Wild, erotic and deeply strange writing. A poetry that reveals the unspeakable wierdness of the everyday.’ (Sean Bonney) Typeset at Five Seasons Press.

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.

Cusp: Recollections of Poetry in Transition
Published by Shearsman 2012
Edition 1st
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.
