Return to Kemptown (the complete recording) is the first part of the complete recording of my debut poetry book from 2010 (recorded with the additional pieces from 2020 included).
‘He
has shoals of poems that swim all over the place, but often have a
darkly comical sting in the tail. Er, do fish have slings in the
tails? Um, anyway he’s very good. Cathy Bryant, author of
“Erratics”
Originally
released in 2010, Return to Kemptown was Andy N’s first collection
of poetry and was the prologue to his second and third book ‘The
End of Summer’ and ‘The Birth of Autumn’ setting the scene for
that came later with a whirlwind of emotions with a grave good humour
in-between a study of life and a study of the growth of life
itself.Now to celebrate its tenth anniversary, Return to Kemptown
(2020) is as much a re-edit and re-imagining but a alternative look
at this first book bringing it closer to what came next with his
future work with rare and unreleased material from the same period.
Return to Kemptown (2020) shows Andy N as a writer subtly able to
slip back to the past as effortlessly as a dreamer and take it in a
somewhat different direction but still reminding fresh and engaging
as it did in 2010.
Designed as a ongoing series covering all of Andy N’s full length collections and all future books (off which there are several near competion – more to follow on them).
The first one can be heard on bandcamp and downloaded if you wish for the sum of £2.00
