I received my copy of 'Marginalien' yesterday, and I couldn't recommend it
more highly. First, it's a beautifully made object, as those of you who've
seen Five Seasons books will know; a big, sumptuously-produced volume. And
the fact that it's on re-cycled paper means you can feel good about owning
it! Second, the content: the combination of visual work and text is
stunning, and it really brought home to me the breadth of Alan Halsey's
range, from the excellent 'A Robin Hood Book' which has been a favourite of
mine for some time, and is included here, to visual poetry, to more
'straight' poetry. And there's plenty of Halsey's distinctive artwork.
And the CD of 'Memory Screen' the series currently exhibited in Bury, is
superb.
All this for £15.50 is a real bargain - I suggest you all buy it immediately
(no, I'm not on commission).
Alan
