David Miller: THE DOROTHY AND BENNO STORIES |
|
£ 7.50The title sequence, which gets its first complete publication here, takes the familiar tropes of detective fiction and turns them inside out, to hilarious and touching effect. This book is completed with seven further stories, in which the humour sometimes gets very dark indeed. "His
tone of voice is cool; the unexpected turns in the plot, the apparently
false then righted moves, are redolent of improvisations familiar from
bebop or swing standards." 2005, 1-874400-33-4, 140pp, price £7.50 |

David Miller: SPIRITUAL LETTERS (I-II) |
|
£ 6.50An ongoing prose poetry project of which two series,
included in this collection, have been completed to date. The other
three texts collected in this book were written in 1995. The book features a cover based on a painting by artist Ian McKeever. "If 'experiences at the limit of what can be apprehended' be the working
definition of 'sublime', then Miller’s is and is not a sublime work,
since it hovers within and beyond the limits of what can be
apprehended, and in this is a speculative and phenomenological poetry."
