Professor of English at University College Cork, Graham Allen's poetry has appeared Southword, Other Poetry, The Stinging Fly, The Rialto, Poetry Ireland Review, Revival, La Questione Romantica, The SHOp, Theory and Event, Cultural Politics and Cyphers. His texts for stage have been performed by Gatekrash Theatre Company at the Stack Theatre, Cork School of Music, at the Comedy Club, Cork, and at the Cork Midsummer Festival in 2008. Graham Allen's critical works include Harold Bloom: Towards a Poetics of Conflict (1994), Intertextuality (2000 and 2011), Roland Barthes (2003), The Salt Companion to Harold Bloom, co-editor with Roy Sellars (2007), Mary Shelley (2008) and The Reader's Guide to Frankenstein (2008). His work has been translated into Japanese, Korean and Persian. Renowned critic, Harold Bloom, offers praise for The One That Got Away: This new work is a throwback to the High Romantics. It is haunted by Blake, Shelley, and Keats, and is a worthy continuation of their magnificent tradition. I am particularly moved by the poem To Geoffrey Hill, who indeed is much the best living British poet. I think I would call Graham Allen what he accurately terms Geoffrey Hill, a mournful vitalist. Should Graham Allen continue to leap ahead of himself like this, he may yet achieve permanence as a poet. -- Harold Bloom","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52761940001041,"sku":"GOR014610513","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53610945511697,"sku":"GOR014980451","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780957466197.jpg?v=1763595997"},{"product_id":"inns-and-outs-of-fremantle-book-allen-graham-9798369492642","title":"Inns and Outs of Fremantle","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53636005363985,"sku":"NLS9798369492642","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798369492642.jpg?v=1780998917"},{"product_id":"inns-and-outs-of-fremantle-book-allen-graham-9798369492635","title":"Inns and Outs of Fremantle","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53636008214801,"sku":"NLS9798369492635","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798369492635.jpg?v=1780998928"},{"product_id":"inns-and-outs-of-fremantle-book-allen-graham-9798369487785","title":"Inns and Outs of Fremantle","description":"There is no town in Western Australia which has a richer history and heritage than Fremantle. Established in 1829 it was where the first colonists to what was then called Swan River Colony first landed. However, the history of Fremantle cannot be told in isolation so any story about Fremantle is also a story about Western Australia and if storekeeping was the first occupation to be followed in the new colony, then hotel keeping was the next. Within six months of the colony being founded Fremantle had four hotels so this book traces the history of those early Fremantle hotels and how they, and the hotels that followed, shaped the culture and appearance of Fremantle today. To know the history of those hotels is to know the history of Fremantle. Part One of the trilogy covered the years 1829 - 1856. Part Two covers the years 1857 - 1890 and Part Three will cover the years 1891 - 1929. Part One received a High Commendation (runner up) in the 2024 Williams\/Lee Steere annual book of the year award run by the Royal Western Australian Historical Society and the judging panel wrote 'Inns and Outs is, we believe, the first in a series of books following the history of Fremantle's hotels, and if they are anything like this first book WA will be fortunate indeed.'","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53636062839057,"sku":"NLS9798369487785","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798369487785.jpg?v=1780999145"},{"product_id":"inns-and-outs-of-fremantle-book-allen-graham-9798369487792","title":"Inns and Outs of Fremantle","description":"There is no town in Western Australia which has a richer history and heritage than Fremantle.
