Announcing (for those who haven't yet heard) SNEAK'S NOISE: POEMS FOR R.F. LANGLEY A small anthology put together by friends and admirers of RFL to celebrate his 60th birthday and retirement (since postponed) from teaching. Published in Cambridge by Poetical Methods and Infernal Histories. The anthology was sprung on the poor man at a surprise gathering (he thought he was just going out for a quiet afternoon tea) in a converted schoolhouse under Wetton Edge on 24th October attended by nine of the contributing poets, entourages and supporters. The contributors are in order of appearance-- J.H.Prynne, Douglas Oliver, Peter Riley, Roy Fisher, Tom Lowenstein, Tony Lopez, Michael Schmidt, John Welch, Nigel Wheale, Martin Thom, Rod Mengham, Grace Lake, Barry MacSweeney, Michael Haslam, Thomas A Clark, Kelvin Corcoran, Peter Hughes, Bob Walker, Andrew Brewerton, Helen Macdonald,Peb Stone and Eric Langley. So that it forms a very neat little collection of new work from some of the most worthy names in contemporary British poetry (all poems previously unbublished) and fully demonstrates the high regard in which R.F.Langley is held among British poets. 36pp A5. Edition of 200 of which 100 are for sale. Price: £3.00 Including post and packing: £4.00 / Europe £4.50 / Transoceanic £5.00 order from Peter Riley (Books) 27 Sturton Street, Cambridge CB1 2QG United Kingdom. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
