Opus Thirty Three Bagatelles

By Peter Cowlam

Opus Thirty Three Bagatelles is a collection of finely crafted haikuesque poems, marked out for their candour and observational precision--

'I am reminded of T. E. Hulme's imagist poems I discovered as a teenager through Herbert Read's The True Voice of Feeling. These poems are a distillation of mood, atmosphere, feeling, expressed in a direct and surprising way.' Garry O'Connor, author of The Vagabond Lover

'I relish these sharply observed, finely concentrated moments of insight and wit.' Catherine Belsey, author of Critical Practice

'Poems sharp in definition, concise, deceptively simple and allusive.' Eliza Granville, author of Gretel and the Dark

All I recall,

under
the white flannel

of a cold compress,

is a sail
unfurled

to the ocean.
