Denise Riley: SELECTED POEMS |
|
£ 9.00"Wide-ranging, sometimes anguished, her poems are fascinating and often beautiful, and certainly more than usually thought-provoking." That was The Guardian, picking Denise Riley’s Selected Poems as one of its recommendations for 2000. Selected Poems includes the bulk of Denise Riley's previous Reality Street collection Mop Mop Georgette (see below), together with selections from her previous Street Editions and Virago books and new, previously uncollected poems. It is the most complete collection of her poetry, including everything she currently wishes to preserve. It is also by some distance the best selling book by a single author that Reality Street has published so far, a function of the appeal Denise's work has beyond the usual boundaries. Funding from the London Arts Board gratefully acknowledged. 2000, 1-874400-20-2, 112pp, price £9 |

Denise Riley: MOP MOP GEORGETTE |
|
£ 6.50The full text of the original 1993 small press classic is now officially out of print. However, we have a small stock available here, so if you want a copy this is the only place to get one. If you are new to Denise Riley's work, you might consider Selected Poems (see above). That book contains the bulk of Mop Mop Georgette – in fact, everything the poet wishes to preserve from this collection – plus a lot more. But if you want the original text, or are a Denise Riley completist, then look no further.
