"The language used is instantly recognisable. Stanley writes how people talk... he never slips into banality though. RAD GLUCOSE drips with subversive intent. It's a call to undermine capitalism via personal relations. It seems to be pointing towards anarchism. Yet every other indicator seems to be pointing towards Marxism:
hang on nothing can be like another thing
or else how cld we lay it flat, dialectical love as my heaven.
and indeed the drive of RAD GLUCOSE... the juxtapositioning of capitalism and sex... is dialectical."

ISBN 978 0 9559459 0 8
190x190mm, 14pp.
50 copies. £4.50 → ORDER
"The three poems of Glogy deploy a bolstered, contused syntax, at once condensed or baggily supplemented... A lyric music not quite brought home deliberates its unsayables, not just as a matter of prevention but through fly-overs of frequently prosy extension which insist on completing themselves where lyric pulse has already been broken... Glogy is a fascinating achievement from a new poet who readily declines to accelerate past or outlive the blind ends or tentative steps of growing a material, whatever is owed its sound."
Peter Larkin (full review at Intercapillary Space)
