Wittgenstein's Devil

By Alan Halsey

Poetry. WITTGENSTEIN'S DEVIL is a thoughtful selection of Alan Halsey's work from 1978 to 1998, including previously unpublished texts. This is a fascinating book by one of the best contemporary British writers of innovative poetry. Halsey's writing rivets words to the page, as he rivets the reader's attention on the movement of language and words through space -- fragmente. His grasp of language, or the many layers and interiorities that make a text work, is about second to none -- Chicago Review. Alan Halsey is the publisher of West House Books. Recent titles by him available from SPD are THE TEXT OF SHELLEY'S DEATH, THE ROBIN HOOD BOOK, FIT TO PRINT (with Karen MacCormick) and DAYS OF '49 (with Gavin Selerie).
