Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Artifice is an exploration of the art of making. Its poems celebrate the artistry of craftsmanship: how works relate to beauty, and how they might inspire or ensnare. They consider issues of artificiality and authenticity, the man-made and the natural. They warn of artfulness, in the sense of cunning or deception. And they wonder at the mystery of art and language, that which resolutely remains unknown or ineffable. For Artifice is as much riddle as revelation, stirring delight and discomfort as it delves into the nature of aesthetics and the creative process. How are works made and how do they make us, in turn? What worlds can be built from words? This book dwells in possibility, presenting an ambiguous space for contemplation, connection and, ideally, hope for to marvel is the beginning of knowledge (E. H. Gombrich). Artifice, the debut poetry collection by Lavinia Singer, is an exploration of the art of making.

Paperback. Condition: New. "W. S. Graham is both a great poet and a stubborn anti-hero for our age of seamless digital communications. Graham was always, utterly uncompromisingly aware of just how difficult it is to break silence or set down a mark in such a way that the distance separating two people will be bridged by meaning, by an image shared, by love. He spoke of his attempt to create 'a poetry of release' and of the poet's vocation - the effort, line-by-line and day-by-day, of 'trying to be better'.Try To Be Better is a wonderfully various collection of responses to Graham's work. Taking their cue from individual 'prompts' - a line or an image from his poems, letters and notebooks - some 35 contemporary writers and visual artists discover what Graham releases in their own art. It's exactly the kind of conversation, full of taut silences, vivid tangential thoughts and sudden confluences of awareness, that Graham aimed for. Admired by T. S. Eliot and Harold Pinter (among many others), Graham is still the least read of the great modern British poets. In revisiting and re-energising his legacy, Try To Be Better is a unique and very timely project. It enters territory that is inaccessible to purely academic study, 'releasing' Graham's poetry for a new phase of life in a new generation. It proposes a model for alternative forms of literary critique and response that it would be good to see more widely adopted." - Michael Bird.…
