There is always a moment – it comes to all of us, irrespective of race, class, religion and all the other what-nots – when you take someone aside and point out everything – everything that has gone wrong. And there is always so much of it, and it takes hours, days, of patient recitation, probably from a book, because it is far too long and involved – like a twisty rope, left out too long in the rain, behind the house, you know it, you have seen it with your own eyes – to commit to memory, even for an old hand such as myself. You completely and utterly exhaust yourself in the doing, you end up speechless, breathless, spent. I do anyway. One cannot walk away from one’s nature.In this monologue of a mind's slow dying, an actor, man of abundant words, faces his final audience: of himself.

    Stuart Evans’s first novel is a comedy-of-ill-manners set in a nouveau riche milieu: a fantastic satirical performance and hyper-referential homage to masters past and present.

In Ireland, he squares up to a rabble of indolently imperious sheep, those ’ragged kings and queens’ of a sequence of poems called Achill Soundings, all written in a cottage once owned by the Nobel-Prize-winning German novelist Heinrich Böll. In Dear...

In 1888, less than two years before he took his own life, he entitled a new painting of Eugène Boch, a young Belgian painter, ’The Poet’ because he wanted to define such a being visually. In his new collection, the poet Michael Glover, in a suite of forty poems, not only writ...

  • Mistaking You for a Shower of Summer Confetti
    Michael Glover
    Mistaking You for a Shower of Summer Confetti, Michael Glover’s first book-length poem, is a reverie by turns casually whimsical, oblique, impassioned, mocking and dismissive.
