Alan Jenkins - The Lost World (Clutag Press, 2010) |
Announcing the forthcoming publication of The Lost World by Alan Jenkins, available February 2010
ISBN 978-0-9553476-7-2
‘No human ingenuity could suggest a means of bridging the chasm which yawned between ourselves and our past lives. One instant had altered the whole conditions of our existence….’ (Arthur Conan Doyle, The Lost World). Looked back on from middle age, childhood and the adults who peopled it seem as fabulous as the dinosaurs of Conan Doyle’s famous tale. For the parents of anyone born, like Alan Jenkins, in England in the 1950s, the ‘one instant’ that had ‘altered the whole conditions of their existence’ was still in the recent past: a terrifyingly destructive war that was in turn taking on, to a new generation, the shape of myth or fable….Jenkins’s seven poems speak of the confusions, sorrows, embarrassments and poignant ironies of a particular moment, in particular circumstances, but do so with such powerful honesty that these ‘past lives’ are made vividly present.
Alan Jenkins is Deputy Editor of the Times Literary Supplement. He has published five books of poetry, the most recent A Shorter Life (2005) being shortlisted for the Forward Prize.

Alan Gillis - The Green Rose (Clutag Press, 2010) |
Announcing the forthcoming publication of The Green Rose by Alan Gillis, available February 2010
ISBN 978-0-9553476-5-8
‘This carefully orchestrated collection showcases a striking new development in the work of a fast-emerging poet. From the North of Ireland, but now living in Edinburgh, deeply in tune with his forbearers and contemporaries, yet freshly independent, Gillis offers a vibrant new perspective on our changing archipelago. The Green Rose distils, in concentrated form, a poetic that powerfully combines range and variety with unity and resonance. The vivid sweep of Gillis’s stanzas combine direct speech and sonorous cadence in reverberating verse which, in the grand Irish tradition, is both good craic and a caustic examination of the cracks within society and the self. Published here for the first time, the ten poems will later appear in Here Comes the Night, from The Gallery Press.
Alan Gillis teaches at Edinburgh University. His first collection, Somebody, Somewhere (2004) was short-listed for the Irish Times Poetry Now Award and received the Rupert and Eithne Strong Award for best first collection. Hawks and Doves (2007) was shortlisted for the T. S. Eliot Prize.
