Span's got picked!

I heartily endorse this, so I'll repeat it: Buy Hannah's booklet You won't regret it. Honest :o>

I just got my copy in today's mail. Hannah is a natural poet, writing lines that are graceful, and yet muscular. And her poetic sensibility is original, fresh takes and odd, sensual insights. I like every one of the five poems in the very attractive Nastylittlepress publication. Let's finish a poem entitled "Neg" with "You know,/you're no one's favorite person." and walk a poem "Very good decision" down the two pages with solid lines that reveal the poet as substantive and thoughtful, and interesting "if I was her lover she would kiss me/and it would feel like a beginning."/ and pen, in "About working in an office", these lines "and in a book shop left a kiss/in every copy of 'Self Justifications of a Prick Tease.'/ I won't continue with the closing two poems which have their own virtues, but will say of Hannah Walker that I would like to see and own a longer collection of hers. She's fertile, boys, and very smart.

I heartily recommend all Nasty Little Press books - they published my first book of poetry, What if men burst in wearing balaclavas. http://www.nastylittlepress.org/books/balaclavas/ Also if you sign up to the mailing list on the website you get a free monthly e-book, with poems by the UK's best poets.
