The launch of New Collected Poems by Lee Harwood/Christmas Break

The New Collected Poems of Lee Harwood is NOW available. HERE:  Lee Harwood - New Collected Poems (shearsman.com)

 


It will definitely be available for the launch in early January, so keep looking, and also follow up on all the Harwood related materials on this blog, via a hub-post, here: Pages: Lee Harwood: 4 Poems (and a note on them) in Abandoned Playground, ahead of NEW COLLECTED POEMS edited Corcoran and Sheppard (robertsheppard.blogspot.com). This includes a load of Harwood audio/video for you to enjoy: Pages: Lee Harwood New Collected Poems: the best audio and video recordings (robertsheppard.blogspot.com)

 Until the publication/launch, I’m having a little break from the blog as I do every Christmas. So here’s the date to look forward to.

Like all Shearsman launches, it will be held at 7.30 in the Swedenborg Centre in Central London. In this case, on 10th January, 2023…

Read all about it here: Pages: Lee Harwood New Collected Poems launched and on sale now (robertsheppard.blogspot.com)

Kelvin Corcoran and I have invited a number of poets and publishers to read their favourite Harwood poem – I was going to add ‘from the book’, but a. that’s a non-sequitur and b. there are some poems in the book that people may not know (yet)! (See here for more on that: Pages: Lee Harwood New Collected Poems (2023) Some of the new things we found to put in it (robertsheppard.blogspot.com)).

Until then, have a lovely mid-winter break (or whatever it is you wish for this season). Here’s the traditional Christmas banana to help you get into the spirit!

 


Those of you who usually receive a New Year's card from Patricia and me: we've not even selected the poem, designed the cover, let alone printed them out and posted them! Not even sure whether they will happen!
