twenty three umbrellas

Add to Basket
28 pages. £5.00
ISBN : 978-0-9558996-4-5

A series of chance photographic images that gradually grew into a collection and then into a poem in images and words. Twenty three discarded umbrellas are the characters, and human identity and experience the plot. Things we pass by without a second glance become alive again. Black and white, bleak, beautiful and oddly touching. A limited edition. The poem in each copy is hand-written by Graham Fulton.



Suspect Novelties: order, chaos, the whole etc.

Add to Basket
32 pages. £4.00
ISBN : 978-0-9558996-2-1

Testing chaos theory in words. Random couplings are drawn from the dictionary to turn what should be meaningless into a cohesive whole. Funny, profound and surreal in turn. The collection of word pictures in a limited edition hand-crafted pamphlet can be read from any satrting point and in either direction. A rare chance to create your own end, middle, beginning.

Pocket Fugues

Add to Basket
20 pages. £5
ISBN : 978-0-9558996-3-8

A journey taken on a darkening afternoon through the streets of Paisley and Glasgow in photographs and poems. Individuals emerge from the crowd, themes repeat; music and sound unite diparate images so the people come alive. The peoms observe with tough love and an unsentimental eye, but you can hear unexpected tenderness and harmony throughout the confusion.




Inner Circle by Graham Fulton

Add to Basket
ISBN : 978-0-9558996-0-7 PRICE : £4.00

A new sequence by widely published poet Graham Fulton,
with his characteristic and uncompromisingly individual blend
of full frontal realism, surreal humour, compassion and anger.
Inner Circle takes a journey on Glasgow's 'Clockwork Orange'
underground with a poem for every station, beginning, and ending,
at St. Enoch. He shines an exhilirating torch on a claustrophobic,
familiar world, picking out his 'ordinary' fellow travellers ...
a pink punk fairy, a dying man, two lovers, a silent observer,
people we'll never see again, reflections of ourselves in the window.
Fleeting and fragile, stark and tender, accessible, always in motion.
This lean collection by Fulton is a breathless and disturbing ride.
