“All Barque’s needles are twitching to a blur:
No Class
by Richard Owens
£6 + p&p
[http://www.barquepress.com/publications.php?i=92]
Anyone who heard these poems at the Sussex Poetry Festival a couple of weeks back will need no prodding. I didn’t speak to anyone after that reading who thought it was anything less than breathtaking. Listmembers may recall a short discussion on this list of the title poem, ‘No Class’, after it was first published in Joe Luna’s _Hi Zero_. I started that discussion by saying that I thought it was the best poem I’d read in a while, a deep injection of reality that made me shudder with excitement and anger. This book is an extraordinary collection of poems all just as powerful and radically affecting.”
