New from Wild Honey Press. Apologies for cross posting. ************************************************ Plunge by Harriet Zinnes, 24 pages, 14x21 cm, inkjet printed on cream paper, with 250 gsm white Stratacolour card cover. The colour illustration on the cover is from the painting Unexpected Visitor by Alice Zinnes. ISBN 1 903090 29 6, USD 5, STG 3.50 Poet and critic, Harriet Zinnes lives in New York is the author of seven collections of poetry. Visit http://www.wildhoneypress.com/books/plunge for a picture of the cover and a sample poem. It's lucid, graceful work, full of formal interest. I've found that if you can break the hypnotic spell cast by these poems, one can learn all sorts of high-tech things. ************************************************ red noise of bones a 42 minute CD of Trevor Joyce reading his own work. Having been through it from stem to stern six times normalising volumes and so on, I found myself then listening to it for pleasure. Wonderful stuff. ISBN 1 903090 30 X. USD 15, STG 10. Visit http://www.wildhoneypress.com/books/rednoise for a sample. Book and cd available from me at 16a Ballyman Road, Bray, Co. Wicklow, Ireland (I take mastercard or visa) or from Peter Riley. ************************************************************** Finally, for the brokenwalleted, (no irony here as I sit in my Oxfam tee-shirt) two freebies: Ten poems read by Miles Champion, read with a clarity and speed that is almost too thrilling. Text is provided for those who don't have 1 GHz ears. Many of the poems read can be found in Three Bell Zero, Miles Champion, Roof Books, New York, ISBN 0 937804 82 7, USD 10.95 (Highly recommended). This reading, specially recorded for Wild Honey, is one of the highlights of my summer. A tour de force. Second freebie: A Defense of Poetry read by Gabe Gudding, a spendthrift spirited whale of an anti-praise poem.
