The selection of heaven by Paul Blackburn

Incredibly beautiful presentation with handmade book and papers!
Just wish the poems had resonated more.

Proensa: an anthology of troubadour poetry by Paul Blackburn

Another of those books I'd been waiting for. What an amazing poet Blackburn was; he brings these medieval poets to blazing contemporary life. "I'll tell you/ in my own way/ what I've seen/ and what I see."
