New from Fighting Cock Press

FIGHTING COCK PRESS in association with STAIRWELL BOOKS (USA) are pleased to announce the forthcoming publication of

Fosdyke and Me And Other Poems

by John Gilham

Price £6.50 /$9.95 ISBN 978-0-906744-33-8

"Fosdyke, my companion in misfortune, fellow sufferer, alter ego - so many years since our life was set on its seemingly irreversible downward course - joint losers in the lottery of achievement and fame. May this give life to thee.

After Fosdyke, my poems tend to the domestic … but more seriously turn to rage against the folly and destruction of war, from the flayed landscape of Flanders, where my grandfather served in the First World War, to the illegal invasion of Iraq. Those appear here too." John Gilham

Available from May 4th 2010, from Fighting Cock Press, c/o Pauline Kirk, 45, Middlethorpe Grove, York, YO24 1NA Email: pmk@pkirk304.force9.co.uk
