paperback. Condición: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Paperback. Condición: New. If Johnson believed that objects held primacy over language, why did he compose his dictionary following the arbitrary rule of alphabetical order? If (to contradict Wittgenstein) poems are engaged in the language-game of giving information, how should that information be arranged? If Blake had, when he heard ringing in the trees, picked up the phone, what information would the things have sung to him? If Heraclitus had not been struck with his own lightning, would he be less fragmented to us now? This sequence of poems presents a number of possible and less possible answers to these questions. But more questions arise on the way.…

Paperback. Condición: New. "In The Masses the creepy-crawlies visibly teem. Adapting the sound-mutating technique Goodland perfected in Gloss, where well-known phrases are minutely changed to sly and comic effect, here the creatures which are usually only glimpsed, only imagined with a flinch, are foregrounded in phonic mutation. Amid the rich density of these playful and sometimes frightening poems are cut-back lyrics, often about fatherhood in a diminished world, and these give the book overall a sense not just of the strangeness of the fauna around us but of the strangeness of our own language nests, of the fragility of the world an older generation has ruined and is now bequeathing to the young." -Richard Price "Goodland's exploration of the world of small creatures is both playful and intellectually challenging. Shaped from biological data and direct observation, this catalogue of voices invites a subtle reversal of perspective. The book acknowledges the threat of a multitudinous unknown and also celebrates the evolution of skills that may not coincide with human design. These encounters with the strange, or inhabiting of it, form a word-feast (`mess') in which origins and divarication are crucial. Readers will appreciate the work's linguistic texture and its cultural resonance." -Gavin Selerie "An insect is an insect is an insect. Or perhaps not: there is nothing so certain or pat in Giles Goodland's poems of insect life; and he resists the temptations of literary abstraction as much as he refuses to stop at mere quotidian observation. Instead, he brings to bear rich reserves of insight, invention, humour and linguistic mastery in order to provoke insight in the reader. as well as astonishment and delight." -David Miller.…
