Presently

'A book of fascinations. Of poems as enthusiasms, that happened, in time, once ago, and now have expanded into permanence. For what else is a book but this in fact?



Presently is a significant debut for British poetry, or rather for those interested in a British poetry of expanse, which can carry the potential of the performative, the visual, the conceptual and the lyrical, together. Together being the operative word.



A volume that breaks ground for the poem score as an idea, calling to David Antin as readily as Ian Hamilton Finlay. A book of the future then, but made of autodidacticism, of research and revelation, of bountiful, communal, heartfelt, innovative poetry.'
