Book Description
Attila the Stockbroker has travelled the world for ten years, taking his highly individual, fiery cocktail of energetic performance poetry, hardcore minimalist folk-rock anthems (accompanied by his trusty mandola, Nelson) and surreal political satire from Shoreham Harbour to Sydney Harbour, from Harlow to Helsinki, via Leipzig, Vancouver, Auckland, Amsterdam and Tirana - not to mention Slough! Scornflakes is Attila's second book of poems, the follow-up to 1985's Cautionary Tales for Dead Commuters... Inspiration by Hilaire Belloc. Clothes sense by The Levellers. Holder of a poetic licence for a minstrel cycle, Attila's other interests include lugworms, cultivating coriander plants and 'attempting to control the growth of other vegetables, especially Tory C2s'.In Britain, Attila has done substantial work for The Guardian and Radio Four, written for the music press (ha!) and even stranger publications, and made considerable numbers of sporadic and often unlikely radio and TV appearances from John Peel to Pebble Mill. He's a regular at events such as the Edinburgh Fringe and Glastonbury Festival, and performs at every conceivable type of venue - arts centres, rock gigs, poetry festivals, comedy clubs...He has released five LPs in the UK - most recently Scornflakes and Donkeys' Years - and has also had albums issued in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Germany. His most recent release is an Antipodean CD called 668 - Neighbour of the Beast.Scornflakes is illustrated with cartoons by Womble.

Book Description
The Boids are back in town ... The follow-up to the award-winning EXTINCT BOIDS, this book features more of the incredible art of cartoonist Ralph Steadman. This time the focus is not on the birds that are gone, but the ones that there's still time to save. These are the 192 Critically Endangered birds on the IUCN Red List, species such as the Giant Ibis, the Kakapo, the Sumatran Ground-cuckoo and the iconic Spoon-billed Sandpiper – these, along with a number of classic Steadman creations such as the Unsociable Lapwing, are the NEARLY-EXTINCT BOIDS. Woids are again by author, conservationist and film-maker Ceri Levy. Together, Ceri and Ralph are THE GONZOVATIONISTS.

Book Description
This electronic version has been made available under a Creative Commons (BY-NC-ND) open access license. The concept of 'margins' denotes geographical, economic, demographic, cultural and political positioning in relation to a perceived centre. This book aims to question the term 'marginal' itself, to hear the voices talking 'across' borders and not only to or through an English centre. The first part of the book examines debates on the political and poetic choice of language, drawing attention to significant differences between the Irish and Scottish strategies. It includes a discussion of the complicated dynamic of woman and nation by Aileen Christianson, which explores the work of twentieth-century Scottish and Irish women writers. The book also explores masculinities in both English and Scottish writing from Berthold Schoene, which deploys sexual difference as a means of testing postcolonial theorizing. A different perspective on the notion of marginality is offered by addressing 'Englishness' in relation to 'migrant' writing in prose concerned with India and England after Independence. The second part of the book focuses on a wide range of new poetry to question simplified margin/centre relations. It discusses a historicising perspective on the work of cultural studies and its responses to the relationship between ethnicity and second-generation Irish musicians from Sean Campbell. The comparison of contemporary Irish and Scottish fiction which identifies similarities and differences in recent developments is also considered. In each instance the writers take on the task of examining and assessing points of connection and diversity across a particular body of work, while moving away from contrasts which focus on an English 'norm'.
