Out of Silence: New & Selected Poems

<p>Best known as a writer of crime fiction – notably the 12 volume Charlie Resnick series – and as the mainstay, for two decades, of Slow Dancer Press, John Harvey’s own poetry has perhaps stayed too long below the radar.</p><p>This, his first collection in sixteen years, brings together the best of his two earlier books,<em> Ghosts of a Chance </em>and <em>Bluer Than This</em>, along with a number of new poems which show a greater depth and maturity and variety of form, further fusing together the intimate and personal with a passionate understanding of music and painting and the ways in which they can affect and illuminate our lives.</p>
