The Book of Isaac
ISBN: 9781602353732 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. FREE VERSE EDITIONS SERIES EDITOR: JON THOMPSON THE BOOK OF ISAAC is a sequence of 56 "distressed," or damaged, sonnets in which Aidan Semmens endeavors to distil something of the Russian-Jewish experience from the history of his own family, in particular that of his great-grandfather, the economist, lawyer, journalist and socialist Isaac Hourwich. Drawing material from the apocryphal Book of Esdras, from FBI files and other historical sources as well as from Hourwich's private and public writings, Semmens produces a fractured narrative running from the pogroms of the late nineteenth century...

Uncertain Measures
ISBN: 9781848613515 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 92 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. 'A Ritual Landscape' sets out Aidan Semmens' stall from the start of this, his third full-length collection. These are poems that 'have legs'-that continue the journey outward begun in A Stone Dog and The Book of Isaac, and elaborate the argument and project of one of our most ambitious and accomplished poets. What runs through this book, like Brighton rock, is a traditional, yet questioning, and taut lyricism, a poetry of argument in the voice of smouldering outrage. The voice of these poems inhabits the place of post-industrial landscape in a way not as effectively revisited and examined...

There Will Be Singing
ISBN: 9781848617209 / Angielski / Miękka / 2020 / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Aidan Semmens’s fifth collection of poems moves from the range of the world to the deeply personal, always placing the detail in historical context. Employing a variety of poetic techniques, he moves from the moral ambiguities of empire to the run-in to Brexit; from a reworking, forty years on, of the poem for which he was awarded the Cambridge University Chancellor’s Medal, to the breakdown of language suffered by his mother after an ultimately fatal stroke. “There’s an exuberance of the poet in full stride. Typically, the phrasing and imagery are seductive and of the physical world...

A Stone Dog
ISBN: 9781848611658 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Thirty-some years in journalism have left little obvious trace in Aidan Semmens's poetry-though, like the sports headlines he writes for the News of the World, his verse is grounded in word-play and natural speech rhythms. In his first full-length collection he engages death, complexity, and the Authorised Version, which provides several of his titles. Other sources for his language include news magazines, war diaries, popular science and psychology texts, overheard phrases and the 2001 Aldeburgh Festival programme. This is a poetry of ideas and allusions, where, as in music or dream, any...

ISBN: 9781848615533 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Aidan Semmens is a poet who has always been fearless in confronting the plight of the world with its disturbed ways. The mordantly titled Life Has Become More Cheerful is a chilling quote by Stalin after the horrors of the Great Purge in 1938 and sets the tone for what is to come.

By the North Sea: An Anthology of Suffolk Poetry
ISBN: 9781848612853 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. 'Here, where Time brings pasture to the sea' - the eminent Victorian A.C. Swinburne, from whose long work about the lost city of Dunwich this collection takes its title, was not the first or last poet to be struck by the landscape, and history, of Suffolk. Until almost within living memory Suffolk was a farming-fishing place, not all that far from London, yet strangely remote. Perhaps for this reason its coast was already something of a haven for writers and artists before Benjamin Britten made Aldeburgh the base for his annual music festival. The county's climate appeared to make artists and...
