In 1995, with the publication by New Native Press of Against Information & Other Poems, John Lanes poems were hailed on the front page of Small Press Review as a fearless celebration of the materials of words...a sign of hope... The title poem of the collection has been mistaken for an advertisement, widely praised both nationally and internationally in reviews, scripted into an independent video, and featured on Canadian Public Radios popular news program As it Happens. Now, Abandoned Quarry publishes for the first time in a trade edition John Lanes poems from Against Information and earlier small press limited editions, broadsides, and little magazines. Out of print, obscure, or simply unavailable except in rare book collections, the selection of poems in Abandoned Quarry show the growth and fullness of spirit of one of the important poets to emerge in the 1980s. Abandoned Quarry is a collection of poems by one of the Souths most admired environmental writers. The collection makes available for the first time under one cover poems from a dozen full collections and chapbooks. The poems range in subject matter through relationships, nature, improvisational pieces, and rants about the strangeness of the modern condition. Abandoned Quarry includes nearly all of John Lanes published poetry over thirty years plus a selection of new poems.

“The most frightening novel of the year.” – The Scotsman Todd, Randy, and Carter come across a boy while roaming the countryside near their town. They take him hostage in a cave in an abandoned quarry and consider what to do next. In Lord of the Flies, William Golding needed a plane crash and a desert island to bring out the capacity for violence and evil in his English schoolboys. Jane White, a mother and housewife living in Godalming when she wrote Quarry, needed only a chance encounter in fields not unlike those around her own development. Quarry is deeply unsettling. White’s teenaged kidnappers ride bikes, worry about exams, have to be home in time for supper. Yet they also imprison and torture another boy with the cold calculating objectivity that Hannah Arendt called “the banality of evil.” Written in cool, realistic prose, Quarry pulls the reader into a vortex of violence and inhumanity. It’s a gripping and believable account of a crime and a parable filled with complex symbolism. “Nothing since A High Wind in Jamaica probes the depths of innocence with such terror and finesse as Jane White’s novel,” declared Newsday.
