Launch 'The Unhaunting' by ANDREW TAYLOR

You are all hereby invited to the launch of Andrew Taylor's latest collection, THE UNHAUNTING, published by SALT Publishing, to be launched by Dennis Haskell at PLANET BOOKS, Beaufort Street, Mt Lawley, 6.30pm Thursday 10th September.

This is Taylor's first major collection since his Collected Poems (SALT) came out a few years ago and I for one look forward to reading it with great interest.

It is also good to see SALT still struggling on and producing quality books. We need all the poetry publishers we can get, right!
