knives, forks + spoons press under new management

Finally it's possible to let you know that knives, forks and spoons press, established earlier this year by Richard Barrett is now under the management of Alec Newman.

It's an awful shame that Richard decided he wasn't able to continue with the project, he would certainly have made a good job of it, and was off too a flying start. But without that start Alec might not have been able to move as fast as he has.

All this information can be found on the facebook page for knives, forks and spoons, but here's what's coming up:

Later this month. That's this month, October are:

Earthworks - poetry by Alec Newman and illustrations by Stacey Dunkinson. Only £5 to you, squire.

Londonstone - long poem by Alex Davies. £3.50. Don't know about you but I've been waiting for this for ages.

Little Machines - poetry by Simon Rennie. £5

The first coup is Captured Yes - by Steven Waling. Price yet to be confirmed.

Excited yet? Well wait, there's more. Coming later this year are:

North - poetry by Matt Dalby, erm... that's me, with graphic interpretations of soundwaves by Stacey Dunkinson. I'm interested to see what they look like. Unless something's changed I understand the soundwaves are ones I provided from a series of field recordings.

More importantly, and the second, really big coup - a collection of poetry by Scott Thurston. Now if that doesn't put knives, forks and spoons on the map then nothing will.

There will also be a collection of poetry by Antony Rowland.

And a collection of art prints by Stacey Dunkinson - who's evidently been busy.

That's christmas sorted then. Now get across to the facebook group and join it to be kept abreast of developments.
