Colette Bryce's The Heel of Bernadette was one of the most highly praised new collections of recent years, winning both the Aldeburgh Prize for best first collection, and the Strong Award for best new Irish poet. Her second, The Full Indian Rope Trick – the title poem already the winner of the 2003 National Poetry Competition – sees a leap forward in confidence and range, with Bryce's dark lyric and darker wit finding many different voices. Whatever subject the poet takes – an Ulster childhood and the child's growing awareness of her divided community, the surreal life of the natural world, or the more disturbing shadows thrown by our love and desire – it is always addressed with both a compelling emotional candour and an astonishingly musical intelligence.
Pillar Talk
That magician/who stationed himself on a pillar/over Manhattan/for thirty-five hours/knows nothing whatever/of loneliness/or how it is/for people like us/who have no soft acre/of cardboard boxes/not even the eggshell/flashbulbs of the press/or the well-meant antics/of neighbours with a mattress/to temper the thought/of the hard, hard earth,/to break the fall./Nothing at all.

Terms of sale
Prices are in pounds sterling. I accept major credit cards (Mastercard and Visa), American Express, Maestro cards or sterling or US dollar cheques. I also can accept cheques or money orders in other currencies but may need to add up to £20 to cover bank charges. Postage is charged extra at cost (for overseas orders, I will send books airmail unless asked otherwise).
I try and describe all books accurately, but if you decide that a book is not as described, please contact me so that we can arrange for it to be returned to me at my expense.
All books remain the property of the seller until payment has been received.
ABE's systems automatically assume that books bearing the words inscribed or signed in the description are signed by the author. This is not the case. Only books described as signed by the author are signed by the author. Other uses of the words signed or inscribed are used to denote signed or inscribed by another person - eg ownership inscriptions etc.
I send out regular email catalogues. If you order a book or enquire about a book, I will place you on the mailing list unless you ask me not to.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to timkcbooks, Penzance, United Kingdom, +44 07843412251, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
Shipping terms
UK Orders are usually shipped within 2 business days of receipt of order, international orders within 5 business days. If your book order is heavy or oversized, or you wish it to be sent by a premium service, we may contact you to let you know extra payment is required. All books are insured in transit. Premium services are not generally recommended as they significantly increase the cost of postage, offer limited tracking, generally do not offer compensation and can lead to delays in the order being despatched.
Note, the ABE system assumes that any book description bearing words such as signed or inscribed means signed by the author. This is not the case. Only books described as "signed by the author" are in fact signed by the author. Ownership inscriptions and inscriptions or signatures by third parties are clearly not signed by the author.
