A Country Without Names is a collection which is both paean for the natural world and indictment of those human qualities and structures which threaten it.

In this compelling and gripping tale social worker Joshua Blume confronts drug dealers, and crooked cops to help his clients. However his biggest challenge will come from an evil force that also saved his son's life. Josh is finding that he can no longer continue living as a bystander who is merely interested in doing the right thing by people. With each passing day the idea of true justice and how it is achieved is becoming intimately personal. This happens in his interactions with his colleague Maria, his new client Samuel Benson , his wife Amber, Detective Schmidt and lastly everything comes to a head when he learns the true identity of his neighbor Mr. Lerner.

Includes poems that concern with the nature, from both a perceptual and ontological perspective, of continuing and intrinsic identities.

Through these poems set within a major south east Asian city Anderson weaves, against the rotting entablatures of monumental imperial ambition, slowly degraded aspirations of native and non-native inhabitant.

Many of the sequences begin in the geography of the Essex salt marsh: here the condition of spiritual inanition, which has so frequently been attributed by the West to the non-West to legitimise aggression whilst masking its real objective, finds objective representation. It is the aggressor himself, not the victim, who suffers from inanition...

Obsequy For Lost Things consists of three prose-poetry sequences. The first two share the setting of the Thames estuary. They all share, however, like the author's previous collection of prose-poetry sequences (from Skylight Press) Interlocutors of Paradise, a concern with history and the psychology of colonialism.

The Lower Reaches is framed within precise geography, the Lower Hope region of the Thames estuary where the author was born and grew up beside a river on which "the dreams of men, the seed of commonwealths, the germs of empire" floated.

A collection of five short meditations on colonialism and the Western mind. Written as a series of symbolist-tinged prose-poems, each section situates the reader in crafted spaces, hollows to be filled either by spiritual purpose or willful invasion.

The poems of Snow look both to the Far East for their ostensible subject matter and back to the UK. Snow is a collection in its own right; its choice and arrangement of poems suggests a terrain richer and more complex than those of individual poems and collections, and one within which they may be rewardingly re-encountered.
