Angel Exhaust 20 ‘You just rang Anne Widecombe?’– out now
*
material whose polished
surface becomes you
its character and interpretation
an exact technology
of tribal celebration
nut-brown warp thread
gold and indigo weave
you speak a tongue made
fluent by its origin
sensitised to the composition
of tectonic plates
(David Chaloner, from *Void Heaven*)
Awesome new poetry by John Kinsella, Kelvin Corcoran, Jeff Hilson, DS
Marriott, John Goodby, David Chaloner, Jesse Glass, Rita Dahl, Jason
Wilkinson, Michael Haslam, Charles Bainbridge, Chris Brownsword, Colin
Simms, Out To Lunch, Carrie Etter. 144 pp.
PLUS the results of a survey where contemporary poets explain what’s wrong
with the poetry scene. A fearless analytical exposé of the moral gutter
where the sleaze flows night and day. We toss those bastards into the big
wok of repentance. We rake the muck and rack the mopes. It’s twilight for
the deep pigs.
Q So are you going to put an end to all this nonsense in poetry? To
abstract ideas, subjectivity, experiment, modernity, complicated technique,
radical politics, all those up in the air things which the ordinary
housewife doesn’t understand?
A Essentially, no.
In an intense options auction conducted by satellite, Charles Bainbridge and
Andrew Duncan won control of the "Charles Bainbridge" and "Andrew Duncan"
contracts and so Angel Exhaust is still being run by the original editors
applying the same artistic policy based on beauty and tranquillity. The *
only* magazine which has used three five-year silences to improve the
structure of the literary field. Buy Angel Exhaust and say goodbye to those
sub-prime cultural investments.
Price: £7.00 including postage. Address: 21 Querneby Road, Nottingham,
Notts NG3 5JA. Cheques payable to ‘Andrew Duncan’ please.

This issue is being published late as a tribute to Britney Spears. The
missing years "are part of the magnitude of what I’ve become."
