018 Piers Hugill – ‘Il canzoniere’
Veer Publication 018 [ISBN: 978-1-907088-03-2]
Piers Hugill’s sonnets work their way up from one- to two- to three- to four- to five-word lines. This complexly incremental poetry makes the form strange, unbinding its energy by bringing to the surface the spectral ordering and ranking that goes on, concealed, inside the consecrated forms of poetry. These poems give a contemporary energy to the sonnet form.
5x8” size. 96 pages. November 2009. £6.00

021 Tony Trehy – ‘Space The Soldier Who Died For Perspective’
Veer Publication 021 [ISBN: 978-1-907088-06-3]
“What is the shape of trust? Does the quality of experience have a thickness?” - Tony Trehy’s exploration of space combines density with a lightness of touch that excavates the language’s interior. Hinged on exhibition spaces across Europe and beyond, these texts uncover the spaces within space.
5x8” size. 92 pages. November 2009. £6.00

022 William Rowe – ‘The Earth Has Been Destroyed’
Veer Publication 022 [ISBN: 978-1-907088-07-0]
The poise and delicacy of touch of Will Rowe’s language in ‘The Earth Has Been Destroyed’ contains within it the unrelenting pulse of political activism. Its radical poetic expression bores into the ‘post-human’ stasis of disenfranchisement, reviving and uncovering momentum where other poetries enter and fail to emerge. Truly political poetry.
5x8” size. 88 pages. November 2009. £6.00

023 Antony John – ‘now than it used to be, but in the past’
Veer Publication 023 [ISBN: 978-1-907088-08-7]
Antony John’s poems hum with the undissipated energy of the newspaper type they are made up of, cutting and chopping at the lines’ velocities and composition. They reconstitute as the eye engages and the ear runs into them, leaving a sensation of dense physicality.
A4 size. 72 pages. November 2009. £5.00

024 Aodán McCardle, Piers Hugill, Stephen Mooney – ‘Shuddered’
Veer Publication 024 [ISBN: 978-1-907088-09-4]
Three young poets explore new rhythms and sounds to make poetry that dismantles the everyday actual world of comfortable compliance and issues a challenge to hear and see and act differently.
A5 size. 288 pages. November 2009. £10.00
