_The Gig_ 4/5: The Poetry of Peter Riley
The next issue of _The Gig_ magazine will be a perfectbound double-issue of
essays on the poetry of Peter Riley. This will provide the first
substantial collection of criticism and commentary on an oeuvre which has
already, with such classic books as _Lines on the Liver_, _Tracks and
Mineshafts_ and _Distant Points_, been widely influential and admired. The
issue's contributors will include Andrew Crozier, Nigel Wheale, John Hall,
Mark Morrisson, Keston Sutherland, Tony Baker, Peter Larkin, Peter
Middleton & others. It will also contain a new interview conducted by
Keith Tuma, previously unpublished poetry by Peter Riley, new translations
by Lorand Gaspar, and a bibliography. This volume will pay long-overdue
attention to one of the UK's most important poets.
_The Gig_ needs advance support to ensure the publication of this book.
(There is, of course, no public funding available in Canada for publishing
work by non-Canadian authors.) The price is not yet fixed but we are
asking for a minimum advance subscription of $20 Canadian dollars/$15 US
dollars (prices includes airmail within North America); or £10 in sterling
(includes surfacemail to UK/overseas; add £2 for airmail). This amount may
of course be increased by anyone who wishes thus to support the venture,
and such support will be acknowledged.
