"Brilliant ....certainly among the most gifted, vivid, and deft poets now writing in English."—Anthony Hecht, author of The Darkness and the Light An exuberant and bold series of poems drawing on the poet's life in the Catskill Mountains. Questions of exile and belonging figure prominently, as does the struggle to find a viable relationship with the natural world. In the chainsaw—the book's central image—all manner of human traits are reflected with an intense, often comical brilliance.

Grey's first collection of horror/fantasy poetry explored "the damp caverns of the subconsciousness in search of the controlling force within. Do we control it, or does it control us? The doubt that these poems cast on our answer to the question is sheer terror," according to "Star Lines," The Science Fiction Poetry Association Newsletter. In this second collection, Grey's dark ride continues. But, this time, the shadows are laughing.

"I first came across Keith when he submitted some poems to a little magazine I was editing by the name of D.O.R. His mastery of form and syntax were unparalleled-where most poets were careening off into wild arenas, Keith was here tactfully curtailing his rushing gusts of feeling and reigning in the madness to small, containable poems that explode like landmines. What we have here is a fantastic collection of heavily programmed poems that contain entire universes in their constrained lines. Where some prefer to blast out into the bombastic reaches, Keith burrows down into the heart and soul of the mundane becoming madness. Each poem is a little gem that reflects the light in a sparkling rainbow if you just hold it up in a certain way-his language is a prism and it is up to you to figure it out. That is not to say that these poems are difficult. They may have their element of archaeology, but really they are simple affairs containing the world of abstraction. The language washes over you in warm waves and gives you the room to come back for more and more finding something new each time you have a look. I am extremely happy to have been sent this collection. It warms my heart to see poets who are this dedicated to the form while still being willing to push the boundaries and explore the outer reaches. Keith is firmly a modernist. His poems are microcosms of the modern world wrapped up in a genuine love for the form of poetry. Read on and see what I mean-maybe some of his love will rub off on you!"

Chainsaws in the Cathedral gathers together the finest of Peter Trower's poems about the friendships and dangers of the West Coast logging life. The poems reveal Trower's marvellous tonal range, his ear attuned to the rhythms of the flesh and the wilderness.

Look We Have Coming to Dover! is the most acclaimed debut collection of poetry published in recent years, as well as one of the most relevant and accessible. Nagra, whose own parents came to England from the Punjab in the 1950s, draws on both English and Indian-English traditions to tell stories of alienation, assimilation, aspiration and love, from a stowaway's first footprint on Dover Beach to the disenchantment of subsequent generations.
