A Certain Koslowski: The Director's Cut
Koslowski is everyone and no one, a tragic figure who stumbles through life in resigned bewilderment at the trials and bizarre coincidences thrown in his path. These brief prose pieces have a style and attraction all their own, by turns wonderfully surreal and laugh-out-loud funny.

The Spanish-Italian Border
As the title suggests, this is a book that contorts the world we know, oddly fluid and yet grounded in subjects that range from rural Eire to sub-maritime journeys to Southern Spain, from unheard of languages to ghost dogs.

The Right Thing
The collection has a distinctly international feel with poems about time spent in Oxford, France, Crete, and his travels through the United States. Throughout, Stead's erudition and knowledge of the classical canon combine with his laconic wit and keen powers of observation, to produce poems of great energy, humour and irreverence.

Astronaut
Astronaut abounds with an unflagging energy, an exuberance of language and a humour that is by turns savage and deadpan, all of which leave the reader encountering Brian Henry's poems for the first time gasping for air. But so compelling is his cleverness with words and exploitation of the poetic form that the reader will be only too happy to take the plunge again. Already a rising star in his native US, Brian Henry will undoubtedly make his mark in the UK with this, his first published full-length collection.

Unthinking
Just my right up my cup of tea street.
Les Coleman’s cocked hat is a pistol of uncommon sense levelled at those treacherous concepts which infiltrate our neat mental suburbs crowing like cocks and so on…
Repair man to our tired thoughts, Les gets our sentences up on to his bench, tinkers about with them and puts them back together — just off, out of sync, skew-whiff.
Humour and Truth having a ‘quickie’ in some Holy Place.
Unthinking flips the silver spoon from memory’s mouth.
I think there is nothing wrong with his pictures.

A Certain Koslowski
The author confesses to having been influenced by Zbigniew Herbert and Flann O'Brien at the same time. Whatever their origin, they constitute a delightfully amusing collection, and the whole is enhanced by a series of apposite illustrations by Hartmut Eing.

Meet the Arts Students
From his humble beginnings in the graphite mines of Letchworth, Les Coleman went on to publish his savage critique of the sinister cult of vegetarianism Tofu Walk With Me. After years of research exploring the darker side of the human psyche he has returned with this current volume in which he proves conclusively that viridian, if deftly applied, need no longer be a source of embarrassment.
With unfaltering good humour, even a kind of grace, Les Coleman depicts the hapless victims of our failing art education system.
Everyone laughed at me when I called the teacher ‘Sir’, instead of ‘Les’.
I look forward to its inevitable sequel, Meet the Art Professors.
Anyone who has been an art student in the last twenty years will recognise this wickedly accurate file of posers, tossers, blaggers and nerds as the other people in their class.
I see myself in all of these self-portraits.
I wish I were a first year art-student!!
