Fall, Nigel Kent's latest pamphlet, eavesdrops on an affair that has devastating consequences for a marriage of ten years. This narrative sequence of poems forensically dissects the complex nature of love. There are moments of thrill and exhilaration, of course, but there are also moments of recklessness, delusion, guilt, shame, loss, despair, madness and more, all captured in authentic, profoundly human poems. Read and be moved.
"This is Nigel Kent at his best - taking a story and weaving it through delicious images. Within minutes I found myself completely immersed in this love affair and its consequences. As always, Kent's probing words take you to the heart of the relationship. Written in two parts, with the stage director interspersed between poems, the collection is breathtaking. The voices of the three characters are strong and each story conveys a deep-seated sadness. Highly recommended."
Kate Young, poet
"'The waste of a marriage dropped into bin bags by the back door' or a 'vast, inviting emptiness into which I stepped with arms stretched out like wings'. Nigel Kent's dramatization of the break-up of a marriage gives a voice to each of his protagonists while an omniscient narrator records the relentless flow of time, of a clock 'whose hands spin backwards to that moment which cannot be undone'. It is this 'moment' and its resulting guilt and depression which Kent depicts in searing detail. The poem has such a powerful emotional pull that I found myself with tears in my eyes when reading the final line. Nigel Kent's innovative and memorable account of an old, old story, will make you want to read it again, straight away."
Ellie Rees, poet
"This is no ordinary presentation of an extra-marital affair, but one seen through the eyes of all three parties involved. Nigel Kent explores in depth a whole plethora of emotions: collusion, euphoria, post-coital guilt, deception, regret and heartbreak, all painted with consummate skill and sensitivity. This is a masterful portrayal of deceit with its gut-wrenching exploration of the (often unseen) consequences of a seemingly harmless dalliance. I thoroughly recommend it. It is a must-have for every poetry lover's bookshelf, one to which you will return time and again."
Margaret Royall, poet/author
"Fall is an unusual and exciting collection. Nigel Kent enters the heads of three characters involved in the breakdown of a marriage with sympathy and understanding. He also uses short single stanza poems to set the scene and carry the narrative forward. This is a collection that is difficult to put down. His skill with rhythm, images and line endings ensures that it is pure poetry. "The clock hands sweep up time," is just one of many beautiful images which will stay with his readers long after they have finished the book."
Jenny Hamlett, poet

Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
