Arrowhead Press (www.arrowheadpress.co.uk) has been described in the Guardian as ˜one of the new presses worth watching”. To date, they have published seven poetry pamphlets and eleven full collections. On Friday, February 9, 2007, 7.30pm Leicester Adult Education College, Wellington Street, Joanna Boulter, Arrowhead’s Poetry Editor and herself a poet, talked about the poetry publishing business and give advice to poets looking for publication. Two other Arrowhead poets, David Bircumshaw and Robin Hamilton, were also present to read their work. David Bircumshaw “Here are modernistic yet approachable poems, rich with allusions and word-play, and suffused with a sort of angry tenderness.” (Andrew Duncan)                                  For my Father Flemish bond, English bond, slap the trowel, plumb the line. Six o'clock, on the dot, up and out, work's about. It's seven quid a week and a ten bob note. Billycan, in the hand, white outside, black within. Morning come, frozen bone; night and home, frozen bone. It's seven quid a week and a ten bob note. Dawn and dusk: English bond; seven pound: frozen bound. Robin Hamilton “Robin is a vital and disturbing love poet and a bitter analyst of the human condition, at once accessible and demanding but with a leavening of subtle wit” Woman as Duvet At night when the shadows come, I taste Your skin as acid on my teeth. The salt tang Of your nipples captures for one moment my attention: All that tight skein of your body I'd twine Around me, my loving cloak, guessed flesh I'd wear.
