Don Paterson Book order

A future classic of memoir by one of the greatest writers at work today

And in the fourth part of Paterson's ongoing poem 'The Alexandrian Library', the poet-as-amateur scientist - from a weather station at the top of Ben Nevis to the cellar of The Arctic - bears witness to the imminence of man-made extinction.

Illuminating and authoritative treatise on 'how a poem works', from the multi- award-winning poet, editor and professor of poetry - now in paperback.

Aphorisms have been described as 'the obscure hinterland between poetry and prose' (New Yorker) - short pithy statements that capture the essence of the human condition in all its shades.

A classic television series, The Twilight Zone, sets off a genre-bending experiment in science-fiction, autobiography and all the spaces in-between. Don Paterson's latest collection of poetry starts from the premise that the crisis of mid-life may be a permanent state of mind.

Winning the 2015 Costa Poetry Award, this collection showcases the Dundee-born poet's masterful use of the traditional sonnet form. Through skillful craftsmanship, the poet explores profound themes and emotions, demonstrating a deep engagement with the form's history while infusing it with contemporary relevance. The work reflects a unique blend of classic structure and modern sensibilities, making it a significant contribution to contemporary poetry.

Our world is changing at a dizzying our physical environment, our communities and our cultures, how we communicate and the speed with which we adapt to new ways of experiencing and living in the world. Caught in the midst of decline and regeneration, what are we losing and what are we gaining? And how do we decide what's worth saving and what should be thrown away? In this issue, we travel to places on the cusp of staggering change, talk to people who have seen and done it all and rescue a few choice items from the recycling bin. From Ireland's Catholic priests - once exported around the world and now under threat even in their own country - to the hitherto obscure music saved from extinction via the vast exchange mart of the Internet, "Granta 105" captures moments of both disappearance and rebirth in all their complexity and strangeness.

Exploring themes of dream-life and class politics, this poetry collection intertwines mystery, music, sex, and drink. Each poem delves into the complexities of human experience, offering a rich tapestry of emotions and social commentary. Through vivid imagery and evocative language, the work invites readers to reflect on the interplay between personal desires and societal structures.
