    Patrick Woodcock's eighth book of poetry is the first written in one geographical location, the Kurdish North of Iraq. Woodcock lived in three cities over two years where he worked as a teacher and lecturer while traveling extensively throughout the region collecting material for this book. Mixed with poems both serious and humorous, long and short, this is the work of a poet who cannot live or create without uprooting himself to our world's most misunderstood and misrepresented regions.

    A semi autobiographical collection of poetry by an award winning poet, Machinations of A Feminist is a conversation between a Barbadian woman poet and each listener. It is an offering of communion between poet, reader and listener 
"These poems share the romance the author has with words and her habit of uplifting the local (Barbadian, Caribbean), the extra-ordinary. In so doing it offers a validation of the poem as personal history, and therefore history. The words themselves are offered as the objective correlative, since what stands behind them may ultimately be un-shareable - an aim to delight God and fellowship with the reader in what may well be simply groans. Nonetheless, let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as seek thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified... " 
Margaret D. Gill taught, variously, literature, written English, Caribbean civilization studies and critical writing for over two decades as adjunct staff at the Cave Hill Campus of the University of the West Indies. She has been published in several anthologies, including the original BIM Magazine and The Oxford Book of Caribbean Verse (2005). She was First Prize winner of the Inaugural Frank Collymore Literary Endowment Award (1998), and in 2008 was one of nine international writers of the IWW (International Writers Workshop) in Hong Kong and China.
