Martin Corless-Smith

Complete Travels


Published by West House Books 2000

Edition 1st

Condition Mint

Poems whose dialect undergoes constant shift, a wealth of vernacular only loosely bound to time and place: grammar twists and bends as echoes are sounded of an older written language, lively ghosts of speech. ‘It’s as if Corless-Smith manages the almost impossible: to make contemporary techniques combine with the traditional in such a way that he turns on its head both the old and the new’ (Chelsea). Typeset at Five Seasons Press.

Johan de Wit

Hippototescopo


Published by West House Books 2000

Edition 1st

Condition Mint

Poems with footnotes. ‘Johan de Wit suspects that the guilty will not listen and his answer is to create formally autonomous literary texts, a pure poetry that is as solid as the world. The co-existence of the text and footnotes splits the poem along two axes of reading in a way which creates a multi-systemicity and opens up language itself as a medium.’ (Robert Sheppard) Typeset at Five Seasons Press.
