	1	Matt Nunn Sounds in the Grass Rugby Nine Arches Press 2009 0956055958 / 9780956055958 First Edition Soft Cover New No Jacket (as issued) 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall NAP 006."Nunn has the staccato, twisted, lyrical joy in language of an English Raymond Queneau and he brings it to bear on a beautiful, litter-strewn urban landscape where "civilisations intersect" in travestied platitudes, deep-dish riddles and a cavalcade of local detail all at about 100mph. If you've heard Nunn read out loud you'll be familiar with this energy and the hallucinatory clarity of his imagery. He ploughs fearlessly straight into class, religion and education with frenzied, articulate wit matched by rage, which is not to overlook the genuine warmth and humanity beating beneath the surface. Sounds in the Grass realises the potentrial suggested by Nunn's previous collections and then some (from a review by Luke Kennard). Brand new & unread. Price: 8.00 GBP
