Longbarrow Press is proud to announce the publication of Kelvin Corcoran’s Words Through a Hole Where Once There Was a Chimpanzee’s Face. Corcoran’s new work has met with great enthusiasm from audiences in Berlin (at last month’s Poetry Hearings festival), Hay and London. You can read the first poem from the pamphlet’s second section here and listen to Corcoran reading the second poem from the second section here. Words Through a Hole Where Once There Was a Chimpanzee’s Face is available in pamphlet and CD formats(these can be purchased separately or together at a discounted price); to order the pamphlet and CD, please click here.

Imagine these poems of the ordinary ascent,
blinking sightless at the cardinal points;
to make a series of journeys above ground,
to know the names holding up the sky.
