A new collection of poems by Ian Harrow for Autumn 2021

Make-Believer

Praise for Ian Harrow's work: 

"an exceptional spontaneity, going straight in to the unexpectedly true." Hugo Williams

"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... When they are painful, it is because reality is painful." Bernard O'Donoghue

Make-Believer can be ordered, post free, from the Add to Cart Button at top right.

Melos Press are delighted to announce the publication of four new pamphlets:

Dig by Alison Fell

"Fine, spare yet fluent poems... Her bleak blowy landscapes are assured and beautiful.

And she can be red-blooded, exuberant." Judith Kazantzis

The Wedding in Marseilles by Michèle Roberts

 "Roberts can summon a landscape or domestic interior in a few vivid strokes and splashes

of primary colour." Carol Rumens

After by Andrew McCulloch

Praise for Gradual (Melos, 2017) "These beautiful translations, awe-filled and rapturous,

command an easy, natural flow which finds its counterpart in McCulloch's own poems:

both voices are musical and full of wonder." Rachel Nadas

City Lights by Nicholas Murray

Praise for Of earth, water, air and fire "...a real treat...an elemental menagerie in which the poet's own delight through verbal magic becomes ours."

All four are now available and can be ordered (post free) from the Add to Cart button, Titles 2020-2021 on the right

A new pamphlet from poet, author and editor, Paul O'Prey.

The poems mark the stages of a pilgrimage following the course of London's buried River Fleet, forced underground for most of its life and so said to be lost. But it is still there...

David Harsent wrote of it that 'Paul O'Prey takes the reader on a darkly fascinating journey: a ghost-walk, in which the poet gives a deeply felt account of the Fleet's history, its myths, its old gods and its mysteries.'
