Here are some personal opinions. I am not an expert reviewer. I am ignorant of sophisticated theory. I'm merely a practitioner interested in other people's work.
I'll review something because it strikes me. I like challenging poetry. Sometimes it'll be in new ways, sometimes it'll be in old ways done well, sometimes something will just work.
| DaDaDa | A romp from Catherine Daly. |
| The Rictus Flag | A challenging but highly rewarding chapbook from Keston Sutherland. |
| Natural Causes | The keystone poem of this, André Mangeot's first collection, has stayed with me since I first read it six months ago. |
| Poem On A Train | This chapbook from Jordan Davis is a good little book to give to someone to attract them to alternative form. |
| Anatman, Pumpkin Seed, Algorithm | Loss Pequeño Glazier's first collection: excellent. |
| Last Chap | Jonathan Penton's first collection is homely, chatty and most enjoyable. |
| Psychic Death Theatre | David J. Searle: erm, the title is most apt! |
| 2K4 Poetry Summit | A stretching poetry conference. |
| The 13th CCCP | The Cambridge Conference of Contemporary Poetry, 2K3. I'll be there next year. |
