A collection of poems. Using a variety of forms, Peter Carpenter explores political, artistic, emotional and childhood contexts with technical assurance and a range of tones.

Clive Wilmer's fourth collection of poems. The elegies, colloquys, meditations and passionate recollections learn from masters of modernism such as Pessoa and Pound, and are all the time informed by the prophetic voices of Morris and Ruskin.

Accidental Fruit is about the almost seen, the half remembered and the not quite touched, the silent collisions of past and present and the perpetual interweaving of childhood and age. It registers death as the moment where lived experience is transformed into history. But it is equally preoccupied with the absurdities of the school run and the small satisfactions of village gossip, the way the trees move on a windy day, and its own impossible efforts to pin down the sea.

This collection chronicles Peter Robinson's sustained commitment to 20th-century Italian poetry, but also includes selections from his early involvement with Pierre Reverdy's work and more recent readings of Noriko Ibaragi and Ingeborg Bachmann.
