Norman Buller - Pictures of the Fleeting World (£10)
On Powder on the Wind
The best poems ... are direct and powerful... the understated power of the details has a big impact ... the use of unforced, natural sounding language has real force

Maria Jastrzębska - At the Library of Memories (£10)
Maria Jastrzębska’s epic new collection is fabulous, audacious and compelling; here are dazzling conjurings of lost times and places, tremendously moving elegies, and astonishing fragments of intricate stories recovered from lost worlds.
Nick Drake
This new version of Nicholas Johnson’s Cleave is notable for its apposition of the darknesses of modern rural life with a quality of light, that springs from a deep interest in people and a respect for the healing power of love. The structure is almost musical.

The Echo of My Mother /
El eco de mi madre (£10)
(bilingual) Order book here...
The Echo of My Mother is a unique book; from its very title, which reminds us of the remnant, of what is left of the person who’s departing, the voice that’s already an echo and merges with silence, invites us, however, to “listen to what she’s not saying”.

Waterloo Press presents it's latest Slim publication: Pauline Suett Barbieri - Bringing Home the Bacon
It appears that comedy shoots out of the family tree, having regards to an ancestor Richard ‘Dicky’ Suett (1750-1805) George III’s favourite clown and star of Drury Lane for 25 years. Charles Lamb also lovingly recorded him as follows ‘Shakespeare foresaw him, when he framed his fools and jesters. They all have the true Suett stamp, a loose and shambling gait, a slippery tongue, this last the ready midwife to a without-pain-delivered jest; in words, light as air, venting truths deep as the centre….’
Charles Lamb - Essays of Elia (1822)
This latest collection, from which Tears in the Fence has already had a bite, takes slices of Francis Bacon to task and comically, critically, erotically fixates fables. Barbieri grafts the experience of one extraordinary painter’s experience of another for whose work her admiration knows few bounds even when she puts him through her own special kind of grinder.
‘She enjoys toying with imagery and language, creating otherness, relying on English’s many alternative meaning to, with nods and nudges, turn a smile. If the aim of the Oasis Broadsheets is to allow one to steep oneself, if briefly, in an author’s world…then they work. I will certainly look out for more of her work.’
