Mary Jo Salter

A Kiss in Space

From the first poem, a hot-air balloon trip over Chartres, to the last, the title poem in which an American astronaut visits the Mir space-station, this outstanding fourth collection by American poet Mary Jo Salter - her first to be published in the UK - draws the reader into the long distances of the imagination and the intimacies of the heart."The book of poetry I loved best this year." Les Murray, TLS

Painting the Bamboo Tree

Gail Dendy

Painting the Bamboo Tree

In her mesmerising first collection, Gail Dendy unleashes a panoply of sound, smells, colours, rhythms from her native South Africa in a sequence of poems which, though dealing with the familiar, the intimate and the every-day, have a haunting strangeness.

...her poems have a delicate beauty. Her strength is her finesse and throughout her book the haunting understatement is a delight.

Paul McDonald, PQR Winter 1999
