This volume is subtitled 'Uncollected Poems 1965-2006' and is exactly that: a book which brings together a number of scattered poems, and hard-to-find publications, that deserve to be preserved in book form.There is no overlap here with either of the author's Carcanet collections, or with his previous Shearsman publications, but there are pieces here that relate to those books, such as the previously uncollected 'Alstonefield', Part VI, Carpathian poems that relate to 'The Dance at Mociu', and earlier experimental poems such as 'Small Square Plots' and 'Floating Verses'. the book is essentail for admirer's of Riley's art and appears simultaneously with 'The Llyn Writings'.
