The Red and Yellow Book by Kelvin Corcoran
The Red and Yellow Book was published by Textures in 1986, the imprint of Penny Bailey. My recollection is that little from the book had been published elsewhere previously. This was partly because it was written and published very quickly. Its writing was accelerated by the personal events which at first appeared to interrupt my initial ideas about what I thought I was doing. The interruption became the real subject in various guises and my first introduction to such parabasis. The Red and Yellow Book was my second book to be published but in one sense it was the first. It was the first I wrote as a book rather than as a collection of poems. - Kelvin Corcoran
Kelvin Corcoran was born in 1956. He is the author of fourteen collections of poetry, the most recent of which is Facing West. In addition he has interviewed Lee Harwood for the volume, Not the Full Story: Six Interviews with Lee Harwood, published in 2008. He has read extensively in the UK and also in Germany and Ireland and accompanied travelling Arts Council exhibitions reading poetry written in response to the work of contemporary painters and sculptors. Three extended interviews with him can be found in The Writing Occurs As Song: A Kelvin Corcoran Reader, the first full-length study of his work, edited by Andy Brown and published by Shearsman in 2014. Recent projects include collaboration with Greek musicians in setting his poetry to music, Medicine Unboxed writer-in-residence and collaborative performances with songwriters Jack Hues, Liam Magill and pianist Sam Bailey at the Free Range series of events in Canterbury. The sequence of poems A Thesis on the Ballad, performed by Jack Hues and the Quartet is available on CD and download.
