Includes strange resonances which emerge from the Irish landscape and way of life, and the poet''s insight into a poet''s existence.

This work contains masses of information the professional antiques dealer and collector needs to conduct their business in an efficient and profitable manner. It also gives an insight into just how that business is conducted.

Tony Curtis''s new collection of poems encompasses a wide variety of forms and subjects in which he looks at the world with an ever keener eye. Heaven''s gate is the eagerly awaited new collection by one of Britains''s best poets. Though Curtis''s themes and subject matter are diverse, there is a persuasive clarity to his poems. His style is seemingly casual, almost artless, but is actually carefully composed. The sonnet sequence dedicated to a son studying abroad, ''Letters to Gareth in Amherst'', is characteristic. The light newsy voice contrasts with the tight sonnet form while the rhymes become the envelope containing and restraining the father''s emotions. Conversely, casual domestic encounters and incidents take on a beguiling intimacy. In the title poem the hale Bopp comet is glimpsed and consiered from the carpark of an Indian restaurant. As ever, these well-crafted poems are grounded in the particular but insinuated by the universal.

The Lyle Antiques Price Guide 2001 is the longest established publication of its kind in the world. Every year it is totally revised, reporting on the sale price and details of thousands and thousands of antiques that have passed through the market in the preceding 12 months.

This introduction to Business Functions delivers the knowledge and skills required to understand the key characteristics of business organisations and the core functions that contribute to their operations.

The poet journeys into the high Himalayas where he faces his own mortality. What he brings back is a book haunted by ghosts and demons, by illusions, dreams, memories and desires, in other words, a richly experienced and carefully shared wisdom, offered in an immediate yet subtle series of poems.

This lavishly illustrated work provides both an introduction and a guide to the current art scene in Wales, which is experiencing something of a renaissance. Senior and established painters as well as young and radical ones discuss how they paint and their relationship with the Welsh landscape, culture, and people. They are: Arthur Giardelli, Charles Burton, Felicity Charlton, Sally Moore, Kyffin Williams, Will Rogers, Peter Prendergast, Kevin Sinnott, Shani Rhys James, John Knapp-Fisher, Ernest Zobole, and Iwan Bala. Tony Curtis''s most recent collection of poetry is War Voices (Seren / Dufour). Individual biographies and exhibition listings are included.

A fully illustrated guide to the treasures of pop culture, this book provides valuable and practical information that covers everything from Marilyn to Madonna, the Beatles to Bruce Springsteen, and Star Trek to Snow White. Collectibles such as signed photos, song sheets, promotional pieces, original artwork, and fan magazines can reap great rewards on the memorabilia market.

War and its effects have been an enduring subject throughout the twenty-five year writing career of Tony Curtis. The resulting poetry might have been bleak but for the sensitivity with which Curtis handles the theme, and the bravery and dignity in the face of barbarism which he finds underlying conflict. Poems such as ''Soup'', shortlisted for the Observer / Arvon Prize, and ''The Death of Richard Beattie - Seaman'', winner of the National Poetry Competition, are a measure of Curtis''s skill in addressing this difficult subject. From Flanders to Bosnia, via Russia and Suez, India and Ireland, Vietnam and the Cold War, these War Voices speak of protest, remembrance and commemoration. Tony Curtis is Professor of Poetry at the University of Glamorgan where he directs an MPhil in Writing. He has published 26 books, including nine poetry collections. A selection of his poetry has recently been translated and published in Armenia. He is also the editor of several anthologies including After the First Death, a volume of war writing (2007).
