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
Hugh Dunkerley,
The London Magazine
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 its latest publications
Tony Frisby - Me Me and Not Me (2013)
The real, the imagined, the past, the future, the dead and alive, figures from Irish mythology and the arts, irascible uncles and siblings, a bard, an unholy trinity, a shadowy father, the Clan MacFirbisig and a bellowing one-eyed bull - all have something trenchant, and at times contradictory, to say about the stages of Tony Frisby’s life in Me Me and Not Me. Or rather, ‘lives’, for no single voice dominates the proceedings, and the complex contrapuntal mesh of voices and opinions is one of the delights of this richly contoured epic poem in which motivations are laid bare, or perhaps artfully concealed.
£10.00
Jay Ramsay - Monuments (2013)
Monuments stretches inner and outer here. From its explosive opening with the afterlife of a suicide bomber through a diary of the Iraq war, the poetry, themes and languages shock into something more radical and engaged than many have seen for years. Its extrovert narrative arc constantly tries to meet what it invokes: politics, risk, the despised spiritual, raw subjects not talked of in English.
