David Green

David Green (Books) is the imprint under which I published booklets of my own poems. The original allocation of ISBN numbers is used up now, though. The 'Collected Poems' are now available as a pdf. The website is now what it has become, often more about music than books and not so often about poems. It will be about whatever suggests itself.

Signed Poetry Books - Sean O'Brien


This was the first of the signed O'Briens I have. If I remember rightly he signed it in Hull in 1997.
Some of my favourite lines in all poetry are on page 20, in Latinists, where the young O'Brien is struggling with his Latin,
When the stare you award me
Takes longer than Rome did
To flower and vanish, I notice
The bells are not working in heaven today.
