The Hawk's Mewl - cover pic

Example:  the first two stanzas of The Hawk's Mewl

      A sealed darkness perched high
       in a spindle pine, limb-ripped
         by carrion winds, cries out
           from a covert dimension

           Backlit by rift landscape
     she cried for her swaddled dead;
   A cold keening threading tragedies
her woad caterwaul proclaims the pagan.

 

The Hawk's Mewl a 'significant selection of poems' will be to published in London in May by Arbor Vitae Press. Number one in the Parhelion Poetry Series.  The editor Jonathan Wood in his introduction feels 'sure that readers will find themselves transported by these poems into a dimension of great humanity and sensitivity . . . The style of his writing and the images he sets down impart the elegance and depth of the imaginative process of writing itself . . . The voice of the poet travels deep into the regions of the imaginative conception, excavating and bringing back with it comparisons and revelations, small and great, that cannot be contained . . .  Each word is wrought with brevity and forged in fire.'

The Parhelion Poetry series imprint seeks to capture poetry that has that extra dimension of clarity and elusive beauty and truth; that 'something' that cannot be pinned down.

The Collection will be on sale in London bookshops at £4.99 but can be purchased directly from the publishers BM Spellbound, London, WC1N 3XX. Cheques should be made payable to J M Wood and include £1 for P&P though two or more books will be sent post free.
