The Autumn issue of Poetry London<\/i> carries a very generous review of School of Forgery <\/i>by Alison Brackenbury<\/span>. Choice extracts:

“Should young poets learn to shorten their books? I hope that Jon Stone will not. <\/i>School of Forgery, though replete with contemporary reference, remains old-fashioned in its rich sprawl.” <\/i><\/blockquote>
“Bold coinages and leaps of thought leave Stone’s poems echoing, beyond novelties of physical description, into new spaces in the mind.”<\/i><\/blockquote>
“These intricate collages flash with moving lines … They retain all of Stone’s ingenious energy …”<\/i><\/blockquote>
“… I have never seen well-written poetry in such a brilliant visual joke as Stone’s Avengers silhouettes.”<\/i><\/blockquote>
(For anyone wondering, I have no plans to shorten my books. In fact, I think they might get longer. Ideally, long enough for the page corners to be used to carry a flickbook animation.)","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Autumn issue of Poetry London carries a very generous review of School of Forgery by Alison Brackenbury.
