Product Description

Synopsis

A large-format 416-page book gathering poems, sequences, prose texts and graphics produced by Alan Halsey between 1988 and 2004. Each copy has a neatly integrated CD-Rom showing 208 text-graphic images.


From the Inside Flap

This celebration of ‘Halsey’s extraordinary full range’ (Tony Frazer in Shearsman) encompasses his subversive prose masterpiece A Robin Hood Book, the epigrammatic Mercurialis poems, brilliant explorations of Thomas Lovell Beddoes, Clark Coolidge, emblematic verse and, inter alia, the ‘Art of Memory’ as applied to Hay-on-Wye and to Sheffield where the text and photographs of Dante’s Barber Shop become the treatment for a film of De Vulgari Eloquentia. As a modernist poet Halsey gives new life to an array of traditional devices and as a graphic artist he shows how to ‘draw with scissors and write with glue’.
‘I feel very much at home in "Halsey". . . . quite the logo-daedalus, and someone we do well to support (on principle!).’ Gregory Vincent St. Thomasino in Eratio
‘. . . work that exhilaratingly explores language and ideology, running different jargons and discourses together, playfully using near- and half-rhyme to explore difference and identity, in a poetry of passionate and stoical resistance.’ Robert Potts in The Guardian
‘His grasp of language, or the many layers and interiorities that make a text work, is about second to none.’ Paul Green in Chicago Review

Repeating at speed all night
the message is denied
recoded and returned. The radar
ensures that the reader

deciphered and in that
sense foresuffered will sleep
undisturbed: his dreams
have been distributed

as type / as a sidelight
signals to a minus factor
overplus delight
sing or else.

An alien voiceprint, let’s suppose,
which records that speech was
the only substance the visitors
identified on earth and no more
connected with the practice the
locals call ‘writing’ than painting a
picture or blowing through a tube.
