If never, his labour would be in vain."In this volume, we invite you to reflect on all the ways messages can be hidden - and uncovered - in other messages. More than that, we invite you to think about the relationship between the within and the without, and what it tells us about ourselves.

You Again collects together accounts of ruinous tension and blighted passion, mixing extracts and cut-ups from famous works with fresh slivers of contemporary writing. There's romance, of course - but other kinds of entanglement as well, all awash with delight and frustration, rage and joy, hope and perplexity.

Paperback. Condición: New. "Very ready we are to say of a book, 'How good it is - that's exactly what I think!' But the right feeling is, 'What the hell did I just read?'"- John Ruskin Why a book of misquotations? Because what's captured in such a book is the jittery, jumbled essence of truth: that wisdom and edict alike are constantly customised, iterated, adjusted. Nothing stays the same. Say It Again gathers the sage words of philosophers, statesmen, artists and authors alongside proverbs, sayings and scripture - all distorted with varying degrees of deliberation. Some are stitched into poems (or something like poems) while others speak to the present in bizarre new ways. Whether or not they retain their former authority, or the power to lower the reader into the deep well of human experience, these refigured fragments are evidence that everything we know may be shaken, like the grains in a kaleidoscope.

Paperback. Condición: New. Poets are famous rakes, seductresses and time travellers, are they not? Cast all doubt from your mind by taking in these ten tantalising accounts of extremely inter-generational flirtation, whereby prominent persons from history are left weak-kneed and willing. But is that all there is to it? Or are our poets, as poets tend to be, up to much else besides mere dalliance? And will they change the past forever, or vanish into it?

Paperback. Condición: New. Poets are, as a matter of fact, natural spies. Nondescript in appearance, they're quick, ever-watchful, and shifty in their skins. Practised at fleeing, and at giving pursuit. Likely to reach for a pen that fires a dart. Likely, too, to cross each other's paths in out-of-the-way places, and exchange some vital capsule of information. Most importantly, perhaps, they are experts at slipping the grip of a rival spymaster, who is their own dark double - for a time, at least. And when called out of retirement to do their bit - well, take any reticence with a pinch of salt.
