For more than 50 years, Peter Riley's creative and critical voice has given shape and substance to modern English-language poetry as a prize-winning poet and editor and writer of imaginative prose. For the last few years, he has served as poetry editor of The Fortnightly Review, whence these critical notices come. Denise Riley, John Burnside, Peter Hughes, Alistair Noon, Andrew Jordan, Sandeep Parmar, Kelvin Corcoran, Anthony Barnett, Barry Tebb, Ed Dorn, Barbara Guest, Joseph Ceravolo, James Schuyler, Simon Smith, Carherine Hales, John Welch, Anthony Mellors, Andrew McMillan and Robert Duncan are among the more than two dozen poets surveyed here. About Peter Riley Peter Riley is a former co-editor of The English Intelligencer, the former editor of Collection, and the author of fifteen books of poetry - and some of prose. A recipient of a 2012 Cholmondeley Award for poetry, his latest book is Due North (Shearsman Books 2015), which has been shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best Collection 2015. After many years in Cambridge, he now lives in Yorkshire. 'Coming under the scrutiny of Peter Riley's mind is to feel the weight of a lifetime's commitment to Anglophone and French-language poetry, to encounter tastes formed by long questioning, reflecting, and understanding, and to hear, as good poets and readers must, how judgment of success in composition is no respecter of blanket denigration, sacred cow, or cult reputation. It is to be understood by an expert. Allowed the space by The Fortnightly Review to explore a host of ideas on his art, in direct engagement with others' contributions, Riley remains his own man. Reading these review-essays is to be apprised through sustained inquiry of benefits and challenges in a broad swathe of recent poetry. Where product placement, measurable usefulness, compliance and craven correctness are prevalent, his critical intelligence is essential to such a society's real culture.' - Peter Robinson

Scottish detective sergeant James Black has no idea what he's getting into when he meets the elderly Mrs. Sands. It's certainly not anything he could have predicted. It all begins when Mrs. Sands complains insistently about the service of a travel agent. Black, who agrees to look into the agency to silence Mrs. Sands, certainly has no idea that the he's about to uncover an international crime network. The travel agency offers low-cost coach tours of Europe, but it also happens to transport Bosnian fighters with false passports to the United Kingdom. These fighters are performing assassinations, but Black doesn't know on whose authority. He just knows that it has to do with Northern Ireland. Is this a warning for the United States and the United Kingdom to back off the Protestant-Catholic conflict? Perhaps. Yet when a Catholic priest is murdered in New York, the situation becomes much more complicated. The IRA is embedded further into the United States than anticipated, and neither Black nor the American detectives on the case are sure whom they can trust. Cold Spring '94 is an entertaining and enthralling international political thriller that will keep you engaged and questioning until the very last page.

'How do you get mortal harmonyout of a stone box into the moving air?With ash and ink, and sing a lyric air with passion.'"Proof..." asks and answers this question in 27 short poems as only poetry can. It is an account in the simplest, declarative language of the wren's song, the life in transit of the refugee, mortality, the poet's task, the fall of Constantinople, the Manchester Insurrection and the forgotten books. "Proof..." brims with the temerity to suggest that all these lives, all these events, matter, that they are all connected and that poetry is the medium of this vision. 'And it is throughthis hole in the night that the wren sings.'--Kelvin Corcoran
