Selected Poems 1988-2016 focuses on Alan Halsey’s longer poems from the period and brings together the previously scattered sequences Ars Poetica, Tracks & Tracts of the Lizopard, A Looking-Glass for Logoclasts and Latin for Today: The Sequel. It includes some revised and expanded texts such as the John Dee libretto Loagaeth alongside poems written since Rampant Inertia, published by Shearsman in 2014. “Halsey exhilaratingly explores language and ideology, running different jargons and discourses together in a poetry of passionate and stoical resistance.” —Robert Potts, The Guardian“He continues to create a kabbalah of cultural signs, a dictionary of linguistic possibilities, a stylish verbal music, in his essential role as courteous gadfly.” —Paul Merchant, Chicago Review“Halsey’s poems come in such variety, from very straightforward, personal-voice addresses to the most recondite word salads – like a dense portable anthology from a rich and complex literary canon that simultaneously overlaps with but is fundamentally shifted from the recognizable ‘canon’.” —Mark Scroggins, Culture Industry

Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

  • One Kiss
    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular. Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....
