Shindig blends the spiky and the lyrical. Accessible, entertaining, and, at times, unsettling, it is a book of rhythms and songs, sounds and silences, lives and voices. Jazzers and dancers, kids and codgers, blacksmith and bluesman, the ageing Beatlemaniac, the Beethoven fanatic, and the bathroom opera star: all put in an appearance in this poetic operetta.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Wright, Glyn. Shindig. First edition, flat-signed by the author to half-title page. Newcastle-upon-Tyne: Bloodaxe Books, 1997. Paperback, VG. Very slight shelfwear to cover corners. Binding strong. 63pp., contents clean and bright. Glyn Wright has been a key player in the recent revival of Liverpool's now flourishing poetry scene. His verbal pyrotechnics fire the page as well as the stage. As Ian McMillan wrote, his work has 'linguistic depth as well as oral felicity, and he's created a kind of plain language that sings'. Like his first book, this second collection also blends the spiky and the lyrical. Accessible, entertaining, and, at times, unsettling, it is a book of rhythms and songs, sound worlds and silences, lives and voices. Jazzers and dancers, kids and codgers, blacksmith and bluesman, the ageing Beatlemaniac, the Beethoven fanatic and the bathroom opera star: all put it an appearance at the musical feast.
