Following a sell-out run of their first anthology, Clinic return with its second installment in the series: a more ambitious endeavour collating the work of the most exciting young page-poets, illustrators and photographers working today. The book is a manifestation of the workshops, readings and exhibitions Clinic have orchestrated around the UK in the past year.  \"Reader, you hold in your hands something like a freezing cold field. In the centre of this rainy, wind-swept field, a crashed gyrocopter. One of the authors crawls out of it (astonished). Orange flames licking the tail. The author stands up, shakes his helmet…\" Ross Sutherland  The publication includes, at its centre, the photo essay, 'Modern Times', by 31-year-old photojournalist and New York Times contributor Patrick Tsai, documenting the tumultuous cultural concerns of China in the 21st century.   \"I'm quite confident that a lot of these writers will still be around and making a noise in poetry when we are all properly grown up.

Abigail Parry's first collection is concerned with spells, and ersatz spells: with semblance and sleight-of-hand. It takes its formal cues from moth-camouflage and stage magic, from the mirror-maze and the masquerade, and from high-stakes games of poker. Jinx asks about the equivocal nature of artifice, and the real mischief that underwrites the trick. The poems deal in forms of influence: in seduction and persuasion, infatuation and obsession. They want to talk about what we submit to, and what we are compelled by.
