Mulfran postscript

I am sorry to learn that one interpretation of the previous post was that I disliked my friend Maureen Jivani's book Insensible Heart, when I meant to suggest the contrary! Its taut poems, delicate in both their lyricism and rhythms, risk wider territory than most first collections, drawing on imagination as well as experience. (How's that for a recommendation?)

Mulfran, a new poetry press based in Cardiff

I write this more as a notice than a recommendation, as I've only read one of their works, Maureen Jivani's Insensible Heart, and that in manuscript, as Maureen is a friend. But it's a cause for celebration when a new poetry press starts up, especially one publishing first books and pamphlets, encouraging emerging poets, who need the support so desperately. I'll be watching and reading, and in the meantime, good luck Mulfran! Their website is located here.
