If only all offices were as beautiful as this!

The Office of Literary Endeavours

This impressive new collection from acclaimed poet Mark Roberts is now available. Many of you will know Mark as co-editor, with Linda Adair, of Rochford Street Review. Looking beautiful, with a splendid image from Judith Nangala Crispin on the cover, it is a delight to look at, to hold and to read.

The Office of Literary Endeavours is a wise and reverential book by a gentle and accomplished poet at a high point of his writing life.   Mark Roberts lends his deft touch to subjects and places both new and old. In this engaging, accessible, insightful, entertaining, witty and, at times, playful book, you will find poems of exile and dispossession; about the landscape, and the passion of lovers; about old friendships and favourite films.   The book bears witness to a life spent in the careful and intelligent observation, and in the appreciation of poetry, deep observation. The experience and wisdom acquired show in the breadth of the poet's subject matter, and his mastery of tonal range.
