Geraldine Monk and Alan Halsey

Come and celebrate the Leicester launches of recent publications by two of the UK’s most innovative poets. Geraldine Monk’s Lobe Scarps & Finials, “crackles with oppositions: between the individualism of lyric utterance and the political context in which it takes place”(Paul Bachelor, The Guardian). Alan Halsey’s Even if Only Out Of, includes a quarrelsome symposium on Blake’s erotica, a tale of post-imperial commerce, and some skips & charms against recession.
