TURNING AWAY
KEITH McFARLANE
McFarlane’s poetry has appeared
regularly in Acumen;
his work is lyrical, and highly crafted.
'The poet ... has an ear
for a resounding phrase and can move within the "caverns" of his mind to
painful
self analysis.' -- C. Beaton
WHITE NOISE
ROY DAVIDS
Davids writes with a keen eye for
his surroundings and
and a highly-charged sense of others.
' What appealed most was
... a neat of phrase [and] the process whereby poems "like white noise"
can "linger in the imagination". '-- Chris Beaton.
THE HUNDRED MILE WALK
RIK WILKINSON
Wilkinson’s poetry is rooted in deep
feeling, an awareness of the fragilty of life on earth.
'I think [the book] might
be worth reading a hundred miles for.' -- Helena Nelson
SHADOWS
GEOFF BOULD
Bould writes about the horror and
immorality
of war from his experiences of tanks in WWII
`Poems such as these do
oblige us to touch, to face up to the horror and consequence of war, and
not to ignore,
glamourize it.' . Kevin Crossley-Holland.
WATERHOUSE AND THE
TEMPEST
SEAN ELLIOTT
'Elliott's mini-collection
is beautifully crafted' Patrick Osada (South)
FOR ALL SEASONS
BARBARA CORMACK
'Barbara Cormack's poems
are full of ... deceptively simple language that turns out to be
engaging with large issues.' Joan McGavin (South)
