The Gnome King reviewed HST Quarterly by Arthur Graham
Review of 'HST Quarterly' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
An interesting release from HST a lot of new names, they are being brave and branching out looking for new voices...which for me was great, I never would have found out about Jason Melvin's work. The cover is pretty impressive too, looking at it you wouldn't expect to find a poem about planting yams...or maybe ya would you little perv!
In the non farming poems there is one stand out poem, by JJ Campbell, "a lucrative business" starts off well, nice interesting words and it flows well and then you get the ending...most excellent! I really didn't expect that to be topped but then along comes Jason Melvin with the first piece of his writing I have read, "Books", wow, absolutely loved this one, as a massive fan of books this one was right up my alley and totally worth getting a copy of this collection to read.
