Collected Contraptions by Peter Mccarey
Collected Contraptions, comprising work from Peter McCarey's five pamphlet collections, is an exhilarating journey on the U-bahns and runways of language.
Peter McCarey, from Glasgow, studied modern languages at Oxford, took a PhD in Scottish and Russian literature and philosophy at Glasgow, met his wife in Leningrad (she is Italian) then trained as a translator and interpreter at Bradford. He has worked for many international organizations, and now manages language services for one of them, in Geneva. He has studied and worked throughout Europe, Subsaharan Africa and Asia. His poetry is language before it is literature, and rhythm before language. His printed work has given rise to an audiovisual installation called The Syllabary, which receives up to half a million hits per month at www.knot.ch.
