Carcanet has always been the place to look for considerations of purely literary and intellectual merit. Its list relies on the vision and the faith and the energy of people who care about books, and values. It is thus as rare as it is invaluable.

This anthology, which follows the highly successful Oxford Poets anthologies 2000 and 2001, introduces a number of new poets who are at the beginning of their careers and also procides in-depth access to the on-going work of established writers.
Incorporating a wide range of very distinct voices, the collection celebrates the rich diversity of the existing Oxford list ( now an imprint of Carcanet Press in association with the English Faculty of the University of Oxford) while showcasing the very best of the new work submitted to the Oxford Board over the last twelve months.

Praise for David Constantine
'I started reading these stories quietly, and then became obsessed, read them all fast, and started re-reading them again and again. They are gripping tales, but what is startling is the quality of the writing. Every sentence is both unpredictable and exactly what it should be. Reading them is a series of short shocks of (agreeably envious) pleasure...'
AS Byatt, Book of the Week, The Guardian 'Flawless and unsettling.' Boyd Tonkin, Books of the Year 2005, The Independent 'Touched at times with humour and infused with compassion, these complex, nuanced stories speak repeatedly of lives lived in some form of exile, yet manage to keep in play the possibility that exile is not, contrary to appearances, our true condition.' New Welsh Review 'A. S. Byatt has described reading a previous collection of Constantine's short fiction as akin to experiencing ''a series of short shocks of (agreeably envious) pleasure''. Tea at the Midland shows the author to be on equally sparkling form again.' The TLS 'The excellence of the collection is fractal: the whole book is excellent, and every story is excellent, and every paragraph is excellent, and every sentence is excellent. And, unlike some literary fiction, it's effortless to read.' The Independent on Sunday |
