Almost Nearly by Nathan Penlington

The very yummy Nathan Penlington has a new book called Almost Nearly which is published this month. The book explores modes of communication and the difficulty of trying to express the easiest of feelings. Combining visual and tactile elements with writing that led Robert Newman to call Nathan’s work “witty, inventive, stylish and original”, the poems take inspiration from predictive text, Post-it® notes, 3D spectacles, trademarks, barcodes and binary. Almost Nearly is a visually stunning, highly original collection of graphic poems set to change the perception of what poetry is, how it looks, and what it can do.

This version of Almost Nearly is published in a limited edition with all additional elements hand finished by the author. 86 perfect bound pages of poetic loveliness can be yours for only £10 (plus £2 p+p). The easiest way to buy is through paypal below, but if you would like to purchase one by more traditional means, contact info@shortfuse.co.uk or see myspace.com/nathanpenlington for more information.
