         <title>Allow It To Exist In Some Space</title>
         <description><![CDATA[A quote from Robert Grenier, reproduced from <a href="http://tony-trehy.blogspot.com/2008/07/introducing-robert-grenier-to-cotswolds.html" target="new">Tony Trehy's blog</a>:

'My imagination of coming over to Bury to do this work was that once we had set it forth on the wall, I would have opportunity to finally know what it was. I could read it. I could stand back from it. I could think about it. I could question whether or not these separate images went together with each other, how these images might have gone together. After the fact, the real work was setting it forth on in space on the wall and it’s not my business to know what it says, any more than it is for any poet who writes a poem. I might get different readings on things in passing, but especially with a work of this kind of complexity, organisation, over time. The main thing is to allow it to exist in some space, and I don’t have to worry about what it means it can just be.'

         <title>A Priori, reviewed by Richard Barrett</title>
         <description><![CDATA['It’s that tension in A Priori (between the compositional innovations and the backward-looking subject matter, or the rush towards old age) which gives the book its momentum – the reader is keen to see what kind of resolution is achieved.'

         <title>Joy as Tiresome Vandalism</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<img alt="ntmadejtvsmaller.jpg" src="http://www.openned.com/manchester/ntmadejtvsmaller.jpg" width="348" height="510" />
Joy as Tiresome Vandalism spent one year working together to create this poetry/photo combo. Each month a piece of work (either poem or photo) was responded to. This process went on for twelve months so that in each collection there are six photos and six poems. aRb (aR) starts with a poem. aRb (Rb) starts with a photo. Both these titles are limited editions of 50.

         <title>&quot;It is really unacceptable for visual arts directors/curators clearly knowing nothing about contemporary poetry to blunder around in the artform.&quot;</title>
         <description><![CDATA[More exasperating than speaking to poets who support shit poetry is talking to people who know sod all about poetry and use poetry as a tick box in their arsenal of cultural experiences. I site <a href="http://www.latitudefestival.co.uk/home/" target="new">Latitude</a> - absolutely disgusting along with The Guardian. Pornography's the word. See Tony Trehy's blog.

         <title>&quot;a brackish ring / for you&quot;: Stuart Calton&apos;s The Corn Mother</title>
         <description><![CDATA['The driver of this verse, various repetitions (rubbing, body, immolation) dotted over occasional scenes and more persistent cross-cut exhortations. Not one speed but at least three - moments of very slow explicitness; high pressure jump starts; a bathos-tinged familiar slow collision of half-analogy.'
