Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Kiss the Skeleton" is a compilation of a hundred or so of my poems over forty years. Covering all aspects of life; all types of emotion. "Kiss the Skeleton" is a study of love and life. Kiss the skeleton to enterthe dark playof piano on muted flute. As passion throwsthe shadow of doubt;for asleep you mustrush to the fire. Red as the winein the two emptyglasses. Moving through the different experiences of Kennedy's life you will find joy and sadness, as in every poem is a picture of a life truly lived. Set in Australia at such places as Balmain, Kings Cross and Fremantle (as well as exploration of the desert in-between). It covers many aspects of love; as well as the pain of it's loss. It also has a war poem, poems concerning Aborigines and intimate discussions on madness.Strongly influenced by Russian, Chinese, Tamil and Indo-Malaysian verse, this book will delight and cause disquiet at the same time. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Barrios, Mr Carlos (illustrator).…

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. First Edition, First Printing. Signed by Margaret Atwood, Christopher Brookmyre, Lin Anderson, John Burnside, Ian Welsh, Denise Mina, James Robertson, Ian Rankin, A. L. Kennedy. First Edition, First Printing with full number line on the copyright page. Both book and the dust jacket are in Fine condition with no obvious flaws of any kind. Published in support of the One City Trust in Edinburgh, this collection of commissioned short stories was created to help fight social exclusion in the city. Each contribution is set in Edinburgh and features a crime, resulting in a wide range of genres, from classic detective fiction to speculative horror. Irvine Welsh, of "Trainspotting" fame, wrote the introduction, which includes the following: "In the part of Edinburgh where I grew up, a small group of people viewed criminal activity as a legitimate business. They were always very much a minority in the community: generally tolerated, occasionally indulged, but more usually frowned upon. There were a few of what authorities, back in those casually pejorative days, used to term 'problem families', but even the most hard-working, salt of the earth ones, like I perceived my own to be, were blessed with the odd interesting black sheep, who tended to play quite hard and fast with the property laws. As a boy, I was drawn to these characters; they told the best stories, and I was always a sucker for a good story." A fascinating collection. Complete dust jacket in Fine condition.…
