yes Tony, Stride gets all stuff like Cape etc sent through for review - in
addition to copies for Orbis which Im reviewing for now! It seems to be one
of those presses going thru a burst of interest in 'small presses' - a
result, i hazard, of bookshops losing interest in poetry now the fad factor
has gone. Our local waterstones has reduced stock right down recentlyŠ to
the usual Faber/Cape/Carcanet focus.
Like most big publishers they seem unable to remove people very easily;
maybe they have quotas of freebies to give away? Anyway, 2ndhand bookshops
always welcome them!
Just discovered Don Paterson is Poetry editor @ Picador now. Is it only me
surprised?
