What’s in Store:
A New Poetry Collection
by Trevor Joyce
The Gig published two limited-edition chapbooks of Trevor’s in 2003, which quickly went out of print; ever since, I’ve had people asking for them. In any case, Trevor has written so much new material since 2003 that it soon became clear that what was needed was a full-length collection. So here it is: a 320pp book of poetry, collecting all of Trevor’s original poems and translations/workings and shaping them into a continuous booklength text. You can read more about it by clicking on the cover....
