George Douglas Anderson is the driving force behind the ever wonderful 'Bold Monkey': he is also a very accomplished and acclaimed poet/writer with a well grounded presence within the small press scene, with a large number of publications to his credit: broadsides: chapbooks: anthologies: This is his largest collection of poetry to date and includes work taken from previous publications: The cover art is quite something, it is a work of art that steals your attention draws you in like a magnet, pulls at your eyes, it gives a strong indication of what lies within: The work flows easily, effortlessly and each poem introduces the reader to a portrait of a different, stimulating and always interesting character/s: there are faces from the bars and cafes, from the hospitals and death beds, faces of love, of childhood memoirs and deeply reflective poems of romance and regrets: Anderson consistently uses his sense of humour to pepper the poems and lift them out of the darkness and illuminates his subjects with a quality that very few poets have: this is a collection that never tires or strays from precision and detail, never wanders from the provocative and entertaining, never loses sight of humanity, no matter how brutal or violent it may be: This is a collection with no weak links, a collection of poems that are not shy or awkward, the language is clear and smooth and propels the reader onto the next poem with eager anticipation. 'Uncollected Press' have added another beautiful and must-read book to their every growing catalogue of first class contemporary underground small press literature with this publication: Let me tell you, this book is much bigger than it looks: buy it.John D RobinsonPoet and Publisher: Holy&intoxicated, Publications: UK:
