Michael Heller's New and Selected Poems, _Wordflow_, were published by
Talisman in 1997.
"Heller's poetry and prose are noble in gesture and intent, superbly
rich and profoundly emotional. They should be considered a unique and
vital part of the contemporary canon" - Dictionary of Literary
Biography.
"... tone perfect poems - the tone, the scale, note by note, interval
by interval - attack on the "gods of ennui and lonliness"." - George
Oppen.
The reading will take place beside Kurt Schwitters' last MerzBarn,
which holds pride of place in the Hatton. Built in Little Langdale in
1947 (the year before his death) it was moved the 120 odd miles in
1965 by Richard Hamilton (at that time Prof. of the Fine Art Dept) and
colleagues - "it is gay, it is vital, it is Schwitters".
