Thomas Swan

A Selection from the Works of Thomas Swan

Ed. Martin Corless-Smith, Alan Halsey



Published by West House Books 2001

Edition 1st

Condition Mint

Poetry & prose edited from Worcester City Records Office MS 8911 by Martin Corless-Smith & Alan Halsey. This is the first selection from the poems of Thomas Swan (1653-80) since the Worcester Antiquarian Society’s pioneering edition of 1876. Using a recently discovered manuscript the selection corrects some earlier errors in transcription and includes previously unrecorded variants and fragments. Swan’s remarks on colour are printed for the first time. ‘Its editors deserve congratulations for permitting Thomas Swan so to disturb our sense of historical continuity in poetry, and permitting him to put our modernity into question’ (Alan Munton)

Philip Terry

Oulipoems


Published by Ahadada 2007

Edition 1st

Condition Mint

’The title of Philip Terry’s brilliant book pays explicit homage to the Oulipo; but while he uses many of the group’s methods, he invariably goes his own way with them, making poems that are full of an original sense of wit and wonder. He has taken the notion that poetry can emerge from arbitrary procedures and transformed it into a sumptuous variety of explosively novel delights.’ Harry Mathews
