The Poet's Notebook

'All those poems handwritten in notebooks might have potential but are no use at all to the world in that unedited condition. Shape them! Work on them!' This is the indispensable practical guide to creative writing from one of today's most exciting poets. After a very busy year when Brendan has had other commitments, he's now delivered the manuscript and it's looking very good indeed - a unique format that will break the mould of creative handbooks. This is a really special project and our first hardback publication. We want this book to be just right so we're not rushing it into production but we now expect it to be ready for publication by September 2007.
