This collection of John Seed's original poetry, most of which has been out of print or hard to find for many years, is published simultaneously with the companion volume, 'Pictures from Mayhew'. Besides bringing together his four previously published collections, the book incldues a substantial amount of uncollected work from the 1990s and 2000s.

John Seed lives in London and teaches History at Roehampton University. His work was featured in the seminal anthology 'A Various Art' (ed. Crozier & Longville, Carcanet 1987).
