Imminent from our printers are two new books which may interest this list:
THE LIGHT IS OF LOVE, I THINK by JOHN FREEMAN [new & selected poems]
'I dearly love all your work here - the openness and directness of
it, that clear talking to yourself and th reader, no silly clever artifices
- just a getting on with what matters, writing <it> down. And not
forgetting - the joy and delight in the world in some of them. precious
stuff!' Lee Harwood
'Freeman is a particularly fine poet.' Robert Sheppard.
£7.95 [or 18 US dollar bills], post free,
from Stride, 11 Sylvan Road, Exeter, Devon EX4 6EW England
ANTIBODIES by PETER FINCH
Finch works on language from the inside defamiliarising through
gestalt, process, list and structure. The work uses chance as much as
design, relies on visual perception as much as the internal voice. It
forever echoes Coolidge's question 'why make new work when there is so much
already around us?' The poems travel clear up from Dada to L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E.
This is the forefront of innovation
Includes the 100 Cobbings sequence!

Slightly off subject, but I know many writers share my interests in
avant-garde music, are two music titles:
ANOTHER SHADE OF BLUE : SUN RA ON RECORD by CHRIS TRENT
Contextualising guide to all of Ra's recorded output.
£2.50 [or 6 US dollar bills]
ANTHONY BRAXTON: CREATIVE MUSIC CONTINUUMS by ALUN FORD
a combination of musical semiology and cultural critique. Discussing
Braxton alongside Sun ra, cecil Taylor, Cage, Schoenberg, Stockhausen and
others, this study shows the interaction of different traditions which
inform his music, and ends with a discussion of musical hybridity.
£6.95 [or £15 US dollar bills]
Thanks! Rupert Loydell
