This is an exclusive limited edition with a preface by Liz Lochhead and a new introduction by Ali Smith. Liz Lochhead is one of the leading poets writing in Britain today. This, her debut collection, published in 1972, was a landmark publication. Writing at a time when the landscape of Scottish poetry was male dominated, hers was a new voice, tackling subjects that resonated with readers – as it still does. Her poetry paved the way, and inspired, countless new voices including Ali Smith, Kathleen Jamie, Jackie Kay and Carol Ann Duffy. Still writing and performing today, fifty years on from her first book of poetry, Liz Lochhead has been awarded the Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry and was Scotland's second modern Makar, succeeding Edwin Morgan. Memo for Spring is accessible, vital and always as honest as it is hopeful. Driving through this collection are themes of pain, acceptance, loss and triumph.

During her career Liz Lochhead has been described variously as a poet, feminist playwright, translator and broadcaster but has said that 'when somebody asks me what I do I usually say writer. The most precious thing to me is to be a poet. If I were a playwright, I'd like to be a poet in the theatre.' Liz Lochhead has a large and devoted audience and delights audiences where she goes.

"David Sarac is a handler at the Intelligence Unit of the Stockholm Police Force, identifying, recruiting, and wrangling anyone who can support the police in their battle against organized crime. And David is very good at what he does: manipulation, bribes, and threats--anything goes, so long as he delivers. Other agents can do nothing but watch jealously as his top-secret, high-level informant, Janus, rockets David to success. But after David suffers a stroke during a high-speed car chase, crashing violently into the wall of a tunnel, he wakes up in a hospital with no memory at all of Janus or the past two years of his life. David only knows that he has to reconnect with Janus to protect himself and his informants before outside forces bring the whole network crashing down. Fortunately, he has his supportive friends and colleagues to help him rebuild his life ... or does he?"--

Liz Lochhead has built an impressive reputation as poet, playwright and performer attracting a large and admiring public. Dreaming Frankenstein and Collected Poems stands as a monument to her early work: four collections Memo for Spring (1972), Islands (1978) and Grimm Sisters (1981) and the title volume together provide a complete record of her poetry from 1967 to 1984. In Dreaming Frankenstein human relationships, especially as seen from a woman's point of view, are central. Attraction, pain, acceptance, loss, triumphs and deceptions all are made immediate through her imagery and acute powers of observation and through her flair as a storyteller.

Could the course and outcome of World War II be changed redundantly? Possibly, since all you need is a professional, experienced time-traveling historical researcher. The task may not be quite that simple, however, so he had better be very, very careful … The Lebe Technique, a secret “weapon” developed by a theoretical physicist among ODESSA SS exiles fleeing war crimes prosecution in 1960 Argentina, requires endless experimental trials prior to sending an ex-SS officer back to 1939 Berlin along with a full-blown account of “actual” WWII for use in some unknown way to “coach” a German victory. Berlin, renamed Welthaupstadt Germania, the capital of Germany's neo-Nazi Empire by Hitler after the Third Reich caps its “War of World Liberation” by creating numerous foreign provinces, and becoming the seat of Neo-Nazi Germany’s Empire. During imperial year 142, dating from 1933 when the vilified Nazi régime was born, veteran time-traveling Professor James Silverthorne of Goebbels Institut, once the University of Colorado in grossly swollen Greater Denver Gauleitung, the capital of Colorado-Provinz, is vetted by Nazi officialdom to undertake a hazardous retro-temporal research junket in millennia-distant European antiq¬uity. But local counter-dissidence Sicherheitsdienst investigators penetrate an allied revolutionary cell, and arouse suspicion that Silverthorne also members among the patriotic conspirators scheming to overthrow the Neo-Nazi empire, thus forcing his emergency retro-temporal return to the early months of WWII with an assignment to locate, hinder, thwart, or simply eliminate imperial hero of heroes Erich Lustmann, who by some totally unknown means has imitated Nostradamus and is beginning to influence a WWII victory by Nazi Germany. Fearing his “mission impossible” to find Lustmann in bustling, wartime Berlin is precisely that, Silverthorne pursues his redundant world-changing crusade in an exciting time-travel adventure grand in scope and purpose.

"I'm going to make a pinkie-swear with you right here and now, Tom Walton; when, not if, you return from Afghanistan, you must come up here and I will have a mad passionate affair with you..." With this proposal, Thomas Walton, an infantry soldier in Alpha Company, Second Platoon, arrives at the threshold of events that will change his life forever. Breakfast with the Dirt Cult chronicles the days of love and war in the life of Tom Walton. Torn between a beautiful, bibliophilic, Canadian ex-stripper and the hunt for Al-Qaeda in the mountains of Afghanistan, Walton finds himself forced to grapple with being a young man in the days of modernity. While Breakfast with the Dirt Cult has been written as a novel, it is based on a true story. The names have been changed and the chronology has been condensed for the sake of editing.
