Duncan Bush's new work brings to life, at times painfully, the work of the Russian poet Victor Bal, who 'disappeared' under Stalinism. This surprising and original new book recalls the period by an intermingling of history and fiction which imaginative writers have always understood but that historians have rarely admitted.The Genre of Silence is illustrated by the artist John Selway from original etchings. Duncan Bush was born and brought up in Cardiff, Wales. He was educated at Warwick, Duke and Oxford Universities. His collection Masks (1994) was a PBS Recommendation and Arts Council of Wales Book of the Year. He has also published novels, Glass Shot (Secker) and The Genre of Silence as well as scripts for stage and screen. He currently divides his time between Wales and Europe.

The powerful early poems of Duncan Bush are now available in this volume incorporating his two prize-winning collections Aquarium (1983) and Salt (1985) together with several poems published in pamphlet form at the time of the 1984-85 Miners' Strike.The poems in this book focus on a number of themes that Duncan Bush has continually refined over the years. His central concerns remain: the nature of work, the impact of industry on its environs, and the fate of modern man at the centre of a complicated web of social, political and personal forces. We encounter football fans and navvies, farm labourers and the beach set, mythical heroes and the youthful unemployed. The poet evokes with equal immediacy the Mississippi river and the Mediterranean littoral, urban London, a non-tourist Oxford, and the historical and human landscape of his native Wales. Also here are many of the poet's outstanding translations - of Pavese, Montale, Mallarme and Baudelaire.Duncan Bush was born and brought up in Cardiff, Wales.

The Flying Trapeze is the sixth collection from Welsh poet Duncan Bush, one of the most significant voices of his generation. The poems are characteristically unsentimental, tough-minded and fiercely lyrical. Largely inspired by his world travels, they range from the marginal, monochrome lives of 'Avedon's Drifters' to the full-blooded colours of the tango in 'A Blood Rose', from his fine nature poems to the bitter political satire of 'A Season in Sarajevo' and 'Lahore'. "Duncan Bush creates a resilient dignity… against the obliterating rapids of history." – Poetry Wales Duncan Bush is a poet, novelist, dramatist, translator and documentary writer. His poetry collections include Masks, a Poetry Book Society Recommendation and the 1995 Arts Council of Wales Book of the Year (Seren, 1995), and Midway (Seren, 1998). He is the author of several novels, including The Genre of Silence (Seren, 1995). He has lived for many years in Luxembourg, and is co-editor of the Amsterdam Review.
