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.

One of Ireland''s most popular poets, Tony Curtis has been awarded the Irish National Poetry Prize and is a member of Aosdana, the Irish academy of the arts. This collection brings together a selection of his current works."

It is a tale of a world long since destroyed by technology, where the final gift of knowledge is the magic of genetic enhancement, and gifted men and women are are called the Anointed who stand as vanguards of free nations and champions of empires. It is the tale of the Al-Kraal Empire. A expanding regime built by a repudiated scholar turned conqueror, whose ambitions are as brilliant as they are appalling. It is the tale of the remarkable women of Venters Hall, where mastery of the female matrix has given women power to beggar the gods. It is the tale of the 12 Risen. Twelve young men, some born in, others condemned to, a life of slavery. Twelve men whose rebellion reshaped a broken world. Lastly, it is the tale of the Ebony Path, a rent in the fabric of the universe created by an ancient clash of powers. A place where roads lead to the very heart of creation and worlds known and unknown. A place where any who descend can find themselves subject to possession by merciless beings with angelic countenances. Book One takes place nineteen years after the rebellion.

Taken for Pearls is the vibrant and various collection of poems by Tony Curtis, published in 1993. Included are beautiful elegies for relatives and colleagues, as well as fascinating persona poems where characters from history reveal themselves to the reader. Also featured are fine occasional lyrics inspired by domestic incidents, as well as a series of love poems translated from the dialect of the Iraqi Marsh Arabs. Throughout, the clarity and precision of the author''s style allows his subjects to shine through. Poems that meditate on the darker moments of history, such as the 1993 Dylan Thomas Prize-winner ''Incident on a Hospital Train from Calcutta, 1944'' are counterbalanced by the humour of ''The Captain''s Diary'', a long poem in the voice of an Edwardian golf club captain. "Taken for Pearls is a powerful and sensuous new collection. Curtis''s beautifully structured poems open up OP worlds and draw us in. These are poems to relish, to return to, to live with" Helen Dunmore "I see the colourful density of Tony Curtis''s language drawing him towards the praise tradition" Poetry Wales 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).
