Told in his frank and inimitable voice, the book will reveal much about his working relationship with Jack Lemmon and the director Billy Wilder.

Finally, it will describe the film's ongoing impact on Curtis' life and will feature many exclusive never-before-seen photographs from his own collection.

I would like to introduce you to UNREST, Book One of Descendants of the Ebony Path, a tale of the 12 Risen.It is a tale of a world long since destroyed by technology, where the final gift of knowledge is the magic of genetic enhancement, and gifted men and women are are called the Anointed who stand as vanguards of free nations and champions of empires.It is the tale of the Al-Kraal Empire. A expanding regime built by a repudiated scholar turned conqueror, whose ambitions are as brilliant as they are appalling.It is the tale of the remarkable women of Venters Hall, where mastery of the female matrix has given women power to beggar the gods.It is the tale of the 12 Risen. Twelve young men, some born in, others condemned to, a life of slavery. Twelve men whose rebellion reshaped a broken world.Lastly, it is the tale of the Ebony Path, a rent in the fabric of the universe created by an ancient clash of powers. A place where roads lead to the very heart of creation and worlds known and unknown. A place where any who descend can find themselves subject to possession by merciless beings with angelic countenances.Book One takes place nineteen years after the rebellion.

Leaving the Hills by Tony Curtis is a collection full of stories from everywhere by a great Welsh poet at his best. From the Welsh mountains to the Hollywood Hills, these lyrical poems explore events from both history and modern life, questioning how far we’ve really progressed. Filled with dramatic monologues and personalities as various as Roger Bannister, Muhammed Ali, Billie Holiday and Claude Debussy, Leaving the Hills is a collection which explores and defines the times we live in. The title becomes a metaphor for that moment when we are forced to choose what to take and what to leave behind. Curtis chooses moments of brilliance, of epiphany, of knowledge and of vividness. In these poems, there is everything he would wish to save from the fire.

The Last Candles confirms Tony Curtis's stature as a poet. In it he develops his prize-winning narrative style, bringing a vast range of contemporary and historical perspectives into play in poems private and public about the two world wars and the revolutions in Russia and the Empire. There are poems, too, about visual art, a preoccupation of the author, with painting, sculpture and photography all prominent. And there are intimate poems about family and friends, including the much admired 'Thoughts from the Holiday Inn', his elegy for John Tripp which also traces the changing face of society in Wales. Throughout, these poems show the formal control, keen observation and honesty of feeling which mark Curtis as such "an interesting and unpredictable poet" (PN Review). The Last Candles is Tony Curtis's fourth full collection, the first since his successful Selected Poems (1986), which was a Poetry Book Society Recommendation.Tony Curtis is Professor of Poetry at the University of Glamorgan where he directs an MPhil in Writing. He has published 26 books, including nine poetry collections, including Heaven's Gate (2001). A selection of his poetry has recently been translated and published in Armenia. He is also the editor of several anthologies including After the First Death, a volume of war writing (2007).

The Real Series moves to west Wales as poet, past resident and frequent visitor Tony Curtis roams around south Pembrokeshire. On his tour round this half-county Curtis takes in many contrasts, from Pembrokeshire's new potatoes to the oil refineries of Angle, from farmworkers to immigrant artists, from the excited tourism of Folly Farm and Oakwood Park to the tranquility of Bosherston Ponds and timeless beauty of Broadhaven beach. 60 black-and-white photographs help plot the way.In keeping with the series Curtis views his area through the eyes of a local and as a visitor, digging into his own Pembrokeshire backstory – and deeper into its history – but also keenly observing the Pembrokeshire of the new century. The mix of new and old, of memoir, anecdote and history gives us new insights into the patterns and vivacity of life in one of the most beautiful places in Britain.Tony Curtis is the prize-winning author of a dozen collections of poetry, his latest being Heaven's Gate (Seren, 2001). Formerly Chairman of the Welsh Academy of Writers, his awards include an Eric Gregory Award, the UK National Poetry Competition, the Greenwich Festival Poetry Prize, the Dylan Thomas Prize and a Cholmondeley Award. He is also the editor of a variety of anthologies, including The Poetry of Pembrokeshire (Seren, 1995). He has written extensively about Pembrokeshire in his own poetry and written about a number of visual artists working there. In 2001 he was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.

The poems in Tony Curtis's new collection are woven out of his fascination with the everyday, the quirky, and the downright extraordinary. These are poems wrapped up in love and death, friendship and memory, madness and music – from the blind man singing in a field, to his three Cistercian uncles singing plainchant. There are people at the heart of everything he writes. Curtis is a born storyteller, and these are poems crafted by a poet with a wonderful ability to express great depth of feeling with deceptive simplicity."Curtis lives on the borderline between our world and the world of the Spirits."The Irish Times"His humour and charm, and ability to turn a poem with the seemingly simplest of images, and that understanding of how words will play over the listener's ear, are hallmarks which are pleasingly brought to the fore on the page in this hefty new collection. His greatest skill is to make readers go "yes, of course"; he reminds us of what we've known all along though perhaps not recognised, and reading his poems is therefore an uplifting experience."The Warwick ReviewTony Curtis was born in Dublin in 1955. He studied Literature at Essex University and Trinity College, Dublin. An award-winning poet, Curtis has published six warmly received collections, the most recent of which was The Well in the Rain: New & Selected Poems (Arc, 2006). In 2003 he was awarded the Varuna House Exchange Fellowship to Australia. He is a member of Aosdána, and a recipient of the Irish National Poetry Prize.

This book brings together a selection of the writings of John Tripp, a figure deserving of critical attention and a continued readership. John Tripp (1927-1986) was one of the leading literary figures in Wales. Poet, short story writer, and journalist, he was an outspoken and often controversial writer whose passion and vigour often spilled over the pages he wrote and into his life. Charming, abrasive, lyrical and satirical, John Tripp had a chameleon genius which enlivened the literary life of Wales for nearly three decades. The Meaning of Apricot Sponge is essential reading for anyone concerned with Wales and the roots of its contemporary identity.

Six Galician Poets

Distinctive and innovatory, contemporary Galician poetry has a strong presence on the literary scene of Spain, continuing a centuries-old unbroken line of literary creation in the language of the region. In the thirteenth anthology in this series, we are presented with work written in the last thirty years by six talented and highly individual Galician poets. Two of them, Xosé María Álvarez Cáccamo and Chus Pato, already have established literary careers, while the four younger writers are rapidly gaining recognition through recently published collections and prize awards. Having chosen six poets who are characterized by their constant examination of literary forms and exploration of new conceptual worlds, the editor, Manuela Palacios, has asked the poets themselves to make a choice from their own work for the anthology. The result is a collection of poems that grow from roots firmly planted in home soil but which reach out and flourish beyond the boundaries of a single literary tradition. Keith Payne's accomplished translation allows English-language readers access to this unfamiliar but infinitely exciting territory.
