The Ghost View by Ian Harrow.
(20th January, 2009)

In The Ghost View Ian Harrow explores the idea, reaching back to antiquity, that one can apprehend the truth only by imagining oneself already dead. Thus all writing, to an extent, can be seen as post mortem. From this perspective, he comments on contemporary society, the ideology of 'youth', as well as reflecting on the life of desire.

Praise for The Ghost View:
'Even when Harrow sets out to be pessimistic...his visual delight and verbal felicities produce memorable and affirmative poems'
Peter Bennet  Other Poetry

£8.99


Forty-Eight Gates by John Gohorry..
 Zen 'koans' from the winner of the 2008 Keats-Shelley Prize.

In his latest collection, the versatile and gifted John Gohorry offers us the fruits of his encounter with the writings of the Zen monk Mumon Ekai. Grounded in his own meditation, Forty-Eight Gates is an imaginative triumph, embodied in language which is intensely of our time - live responses to his work in the ‘gymnasium’ of Zen awareness.
