Fault Lines
Collected short poems, 1962-2019
David Heidenstam
Poems that veer wildly between flippant humour, violent emotion, human sexual love, personal/social dissonance, and political pessimism...

“The sharpness and the wit apparent in these poems is a rare thing these days. The poems’ individual brevity and the speed with which they seem to leap off the page are quite something.
...eccentric? But that’s just what we need.”
Peter Finch - poet, critic, and psychogeographer

The Prison
Collected poems of
Robert Hunter
Robert Hunter worked as an actor in the 1950s and '60s - at the height of his career sharing a stage with Olivier.
Subsequently he worked as a script-reader for Associated Television, and then as a security guard.
In the early 1970s, David Heidenstam put together a volume of Robert's poems, under the title The Prison. But, like all Robert's poetry, it has remained unpublished until now.
Robert Hunter died in the 1980s, but we are delighted to be able at last to publish this collection in his memory.
It includes a Foreword by David Heidenstam, of his memories of Robert, of Robert’s anecdotes from the world of theatre, and of the very different security-guard world in which they met.
In the pipeline.
