We are delighted to announce the publication of 

The Yellow Wheelbarrow by Nicholas Murray

This is his second full collection (the first was ACAPULCO,

published in 2012) and the occasion will be marked by a 
launch on December 3rd in London.

(Copies of both collections can be ordered post free by choosing on the Buy button on the right.)

NEW PAMPHLETS

Melos are very pleased to announce the publication of new pamphlets of poetry for the autumn of 2019:

Fifteen Beads, by Michèle Roberts, comprises fifteen poems each composed of fifty words and interlinked to form a continuously flowing work of great lyrical beauty. As the late and much lamented Helen Dunmore wrote of Michèle Roberts: A magnificent writer.

The Lincolnshire Rising, by Andrew McCulloch, is a successor volume to his much acclaimed collection, Gradual. It combines original poems and some more of the translations for which this poet has been widely praised. Rachel Hadas wrote: These beautiful translations...command an easy, natural flow which find its counterpart in McCulloch's own poems: both voices are musical and full of wonder.

And, just to remind you of The Quiet Life, by Ian Harrow, published earlier this year and gaining excellent reviews.

(All of these books can be ordered post free by choosing titles on the Buy now button, second down on the right.)

A new edition of Nicholas Murray's

Of earth, water, air and fire

has just been published by Melos Press.

Christopher Reid wrote that it is

'a real treat... an elemental menagerie in which the poet's own delight through verbal magic becomes ours.'

We are very pleased to be publishing Ian Harrow's latest collection of poems, THE QUIET LIFE.

“Ian Harrow’s poems of obsessive love and lost love

are strange, stark, profound parables in brief classic

forms. They are not consolatory, but neither are

they pessimistic, because they have what one of the

poems calls ‘the taste of truth’. When they are

painful, it is because reality is painful.”

Bernard O’Donoghue

The book will be launched on March 27th, but it is available now, post free. (See link, Buy Now, opposite.)
