In March I went to Scottish Poetry Library to hear Harry Man & Endre Ruset read from their collection Utøya Thereafter: Poems in Memory of the 2011 Norway Attacks Hercules Editions. I was so moved that I came home & pitched Michael Schmidt PN Review. The review is in this issue. 🖤

If you’d like to order an inscribed book, as a gift or for yourself, then please message me at [email protected]. There’s Black Country, The Republic of Motherhood, The Dereliction (with Black Country Type) & The Home Child. Little Brum flower or pigeon feather included!

It's buzzing at the Small Publishers Fair Conway Hall. Come and see us tomorrow from 11 until 7.

So grateful for this bigging up by PoetryBookSoc - especially at this time I hope my book might remind us of our common humanity. And give us some faith and evidence that there are many good people in the world. That was always my intention.

‘As we wrote, I made alterations in the English according to Endre’s translations and vice versa.’

Poetry review – Impasse for Jules Maigret: Edmund Prestwich enjoys Sean O’Brien’s atmospheric evocation of mid-twentieth century Paris: londongrip.co.uk/2023/10/london…

Another gem from Hercules Editions edited by Tamar Yoseloff - Tim Dooley's masterful growing of The Wasteland, poems paired with paintings by Jock McFadyen. Wish it hadn't taken me a year to manage to read it! Highly recommended herculeseditions.com/product-page/n…

'It’s not difficult to see what might have drawn Sean O’Brien to the Maigret novels.' — Chris Edgoose on 'Impasse: for Jules Maigret' by Sean O’Brien  buff.ly/3EqVSCY #TheFridayPoem ChrisE Hercules Editions

'In thirteen lines of couplets, these character-types are imagined to be singing to themselves, and in defining themselves they create the world that gives Maigret meaning.' — Chris Edgoose on 'Impasse: for Jules Maigret' by Sean O’Brien  buff.ly/3EqVSCY Hercules Editions

A lovely review of Impasse by Sean O'Brien on The Friday Poem
