It Means Nothing To Me

with David Annwn

Published by West House 2007

Edition 1st

Words unaccountably mutate in the cyberspace of South and West Yorkshire. As winter approached in 2006 Geraldine Monk and David Annwn by day and night tracked them down and relentlessly searched them for any vestige of sense or intent. What they found was this song: It Means Nothing To Me.

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.
