Fuselit: Proof and Tony Harrison

RTR 6 is due in the next two weeks with a new batch of nifty modern poetry, but if you want more courses in your meal, the new issue of Fuselit is out:

Fuselit: Proof is pocket-sized and includes a free CD with, among other things, a reading of Ryan Van Winkle's The water is cold set to music by artist Ragland. There's also colour artwork and poetry from Barney Tidman, Aliyah Whiteley, Richard Watt, John Osbourne, Nicoletta A. Poulakida and others.

It can be ordered via Paypal or cheque from www.fuselit.co.uk




I don't really keep much of an eye on the Guardian most of the time, so it's not surprising that this article on Tony Harrison, one of Britain's most engaging, quirky and political full-time poets, has slipped past me until now. Viking are publishing his Collected Poems in celebration of his seventieth birthday. The price tag is hideously steep, but it's worth saving up for. If you're not sure, get stuck into some of this.
