BETWEEN CUP AND LIP
Miami University Press is pleased to announce the publication of Peter
Manson's Between Cup and Lip.
Between Cup and Lip, Peter Manson's first American book publication,
contains 18 years of previously uncollected work. The book forms the
missing link between two collections published in Britain, For the
Good of Liars (Barque, 2006) and Adjunct: An Undigest (Edinburgh
Review, 2005), demonstrating the continuum between the
prosodically–dense, endlessly considered poetry of the former and the
procedural work of the latter. Manson has taught at Cambridge
University and other institutions. He lives in Glasgow, where he edits
the small press Object Permanence.
"'Ah more eh…oh oh'. In the light of Faraday's candle Coleridge
channels Loewenhoek and Whalen (I was thinking) as Peter Manson shakes
the frayed carpet of culture and, as a fearless Duprat caddis fly
larva, makes jewels from the motes. Even the bits of themselves the
poems create make interesting shadows. 'Groups of words which didn't
describe the image but which were it'. Yes. Wit, intelligence, a
dispassionate view of self: plus images that are not words. Nothing to
want for in this excellent book that moved my chitin heart."
—Tom Raworth
"Peter Manson is the language veterinarian, elbow-deep in the
mysterious interior of our discourse, groping intimately to clutch the
dark beauty of its palpitating offals, approaching the apparatus of
its speech-making from entirely the wrong direction. If every word was
once an animal, then every animal was harmed in the making of this
book."
—Chris Goode
There are two ways to order the book (more news about UK distribution
later). You can order it via the Miami University Press website at

After the boxes land at Small Press Distribution in Berkeley—early
next week, I'd think--it will be available via SPD at

shipping options.
