The Return of Irregular Features!

Our features and reviews section is alive and kicking once more from this moment on. Under the editorship of 'The Judge', a raft of new reviewers will be setting their critical sights on new and recently released poetry books, with a new review going up every Sunday. Features will be posted on Wednesdays but may be a little more intermittent.

The first of the reviews is up now and sees our reviews editor taking on Sam Riviere's 81 Austerities.

The Parrish Lantern reviews 'School of Forgery'

A new review of School of Forgery is up at The Parrish Lantern blog. Gary Moon, the reviewer, writes:

"... beneath all that artifice, beneath the games there is a candour that resonates, a passion that hooks you in past the word-bothering puzzles and clever facade, past the glitter-ball and the wizard of Oz contrivances, you find the poet, obsessed with language, and who has the ability to use it, not just as poetic gesture but with a depth, a strangeness and a beauty that beguiles." 

Thanks, Parrish Lantern!
