The Other Room

Coudal Partners By Verse

On a whim, we asked people to read their favorite short poems into our answering machine for a project we called Verse By Voice. And they did, creating maybe the first-ever poetry meme. Make sure to listen to novelist Zadie Smith reading Frank O'Hara's Animals and Laura Demanski reading Gerard Manley Hopkins' Spring and Fall.

James Davies - Plants

£8.50, Reality Street, May 2011 (80 pp.)

'There is not a closed word class in this collection. Cinch-backed poems are piled high with name-teasing. Planxties of hom-bo him-jam merriment abound. Davies' wit sends us many a mass noun without Imms. Reading Plants "unmade" my day, and it is a melch better swing than I have ever sung.' - Tina Darragh

ISBN 978-1-874400-51-6

Carol Watts - Occasionals

£8.50, Reality Street, May 2011 (88 pp.)

Written over 12 months, from 23 September 2006 to 14 September 2007, Carol Watts’ sequence of poems explores the freight of a year with an ear to its future. Fragments and "cuts" of time and memory, light, sound, weather, the voices of children. John Clare wandering among rinds of a shoe-making village and city parakeets. Small series, detonating. The working through of an occasional tense, its cost, its serious music, its gift.

Enclave Review

ER is a quarterly review dedicated chiefly to contemporary and visual art since 1940, but also containing treatments of matters literary, philosophical and political. It is Cork-focused, but strives to be international in scope, with reviews of events in Britain, Continental Europe, the Americas, the Middle East and Africa appearing in the first three issues.

Articles from the first two issues are now available via an online archive, including a piece by Trevor Joyce on the poetry of Tom Raworth, and derek beaulieu on conceptual writing. ER3, with Peter Manson on Mallarmé’s Herodiade, will be uploaded once the current issue goes out of print.

We are interested in hearing from prospective ER critics: so if you would like to contribute to the review now or in the future, please contact the editors, Fergal Gaynor and Ed Krčma, at enclavereview@gmail.com.
